+This script will allocate a Volume to a vacant Slot that is in a location eligible for slotting.
+You will need to edit the variable TTSERVER to reflect your username, password and server address if any of these values are updated (eg if you set a password value for tapemaster, or you want to use another User-ID to run the script).
