    Is there a command or something that I can add to a batch file that will eject a tape (is there some freeware that emulates the Unix 'mt' command)? I have a series of backup jobs that I need to run (using Stomp Backup MyPC) which overwrite the current volume. However, in order to assure a subsequent job does overwrite the tape just created I need to force an eject at the end of the job (the backup sotware does not have that provision). TIA.

    I was able to find what I was looking for before ay replied. In the interest of passing along this info to anyone else that might be interested, there is a GNU library 'mt' command for windows.
