Hi DU admins
Thanks to alan_at_nabeth.cxo.dec.com, Benoit Maillard and
J.James(Jim)Belonis II.
1) The question was about disabling the secondary swap partition
so that I could repartition the disk. I was looking for something
like the Sys V "swap -d" command. It seems this is not possible
and there is no alternative but to shut down the system.
I've included Alan's reply because it might be of interest
to others.

2) I was asking whether 90M tapes written with a tlz06 would be
compatible with a tlz09 and vice versa. Both Alan and Jim thought
this should work. If it doesn't it won't be a disaster just
inconvenient.
Thanks
Ian
