I decided the easiest way was to DltLib then RstLib, otherwise objects they
delete wouldn't ever disappear.

They are, yes.

Basically, read the tape to an outfile.  Repeatedly read the outfile doing
a DltLib, then RstLib, next lib.

It is balanced.

>From what I've seen, the system goes on it's way restoring access paths and
building file formats even after it's done reading the tape.  I was
wondering if there was any way of getting to that tape drive for the next
library before the RstLib command completes?
