	There has been quite a bit of discussion in this group regarding
certified tape cartridges, and the requirement to purchase them from
HP. Well it seems to me there is another alternative, A utility that could
be run on another workstation, (say a Sun or something with a NoRmal cartridge
tape drive) to write the certification data onto the tape.
	Does anyone know if this is feasible ? If I ever get some time
I may look into this myself but I first thought I would see if anyone on
the net has more info.
