Funny how the rest of the world thinks that unix / linux gets it
right. Variable size tape blocks, who would have thought of
such a thing ?. Face it, VMS is now the odd man out now, irrespective
of how fine a system it is. Connectivity and portability are everything
these days. The network really is the computer..

The original 4.3bsd mag tapes that I copied using Tru64, tk50Z and
dd were all of different sizes and forget how many times netbsd boot tapes
have been created for vax using the same drive...
