Did a long-overdue chore:  read one of the tapes with the SMC diagnostic
formatter onto disk, and made a little program that will make a new SMC
diagnostic tape using the on-disk copy.  See mksmdiag(1).  This makes us
independent of possible deterioration of tapes (assuming we notice said
deterioration and make a new tape).
