- The ability to specify elements by volume tag instead of their actual
physical location. e.g., instead of:
chio move slot 3 slot 4
you would now use:
chio move voltag FOO slot 4
- The ability to return an element to its previous location, as specified
by the source element. e.g., instead of:
chio move drive 0 slot 4
you would now use:
chio return drive 0
or
chio return voltag FOO
These features will obviously only work with changers that support volume
tags and/or source element IDs. chio(1) should fail gracefully if the user
attempts to use these new features and the source element ID or volume tag
are not found.

tag support. These changes have been tested with a Breeze Hill
Q47 DLT and a DEC DLT2500 media changer. The latter has no
volume tag support.
The chio(1) command was updated to include various flags to the
status subcommand. These flags can be used to select additional
information to be displayed (like volume tags).
A new chio(1) subcommand named 'voltag' has been added which allows
for changes to volume tags inside the media changer controller.
This could not be tested as the Q47 does not provide the functio-
nality.
