+ pointed out by Robert Nelson -- thanks.
+08Oct06
+kes Turn on heap reporting in Dir with zero debug level.

+kes When writing to a log file, close and reopen the file descriptor
+ if there is an error writing the file.
+kes Modify the autochanger loaded?, load, and unload commands to print
+ the full text of any mtx output if there is an error. Helps to
+ ease diagnosis of autochanger problems.
+kes Correct a few Win32 errno returns in the VSS code so that hopefully
+ a resonable Win32 error message will be printed.

+kes Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and
it is not an autochanger.

next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
the weekend.
