[Simh] Mounting tape files on OpenVMS problems

[Tim Stark]

Yeah. I got it working now by fixing protection setting.   When operators
went home, they set protection to W: so that allocate will tell no available
devices, etc.  When operators returned back to work, they turned protection
to W:RWLP to allow users to mount their tapes through operator requests.  I
put it in systartup_vms.com done.

Thanks

Hi Tim,

This should allow anyone to do anything with MUA0:

   $ SET SECURITY/CLASS=DEVICE/PROT=W:RWLP MUA0:

If that fixes it for you, put the above command into your SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM
