EXPORT
------

$ alloc mua0:
$ init mua0: tape_label
$ mou/block=4096 mua0: tape_label
$ exp username/password
  ...(export proceeds)
  NAME OF EXPORT FILE(EXPDAT.DMP) :  mua0:expdat.dmp
  ...(export proceeds until end of reel)

Meanwhile, back in the computer room...

1. tape rewinds and dismounts by itself;
2. a message gets flashed onto the operator's terminal telling him to
   mount the next tape.  There is a request number;
3. operator does the following:
   $ reply/init=<request_no>
4. goes back to step 1 as many times as necessary.

IMPORT
------

$ alloc mua0:
$ mou/block=4096 mua0: tape_label (has to be the same as the 1st tape
                                   involved in the export)
$ imp user2/pass2
  ...(import proceeds)
  NAME OF IMPORT FILE(EXPDAT.DMP) :  mua0:expdat.dmp
  ...(import proceeds until end of reel)
