Davina / George,

Some good news....and some bad. Horizon is a collective term for a number of
StorageTek products. Horizon L-Series Library Admin Software is the product
Davina is talking about and works with L180/L700 - it's pretty low cost too.
The "equivalent" for L20/L40/L80 libraries is called the Library Status
Software and is free (yay!) but only allows web access to the status of the
library (boo) and doesn't let you alter anything. To access this:

1. Attach your L80 to your network
2. Set an IP address through the front panel
3. Make sure you have Java configured in your browser
4. Point browser at your L80's network address
5. Marvel at the read-only view of your library

It's free and at least lets you see what's going on in the library, but
won't let you manipulate anything like Library Admin for the big libraries
does!

Cheers

Mark
