What if a new device came out and there was a better optimum blocksize
for it? Wouldn't you have to recompile everthing that used that file to
get the optimum blocksize? I don't know I'm just asking.
-------------------------------------<unsnip>--------------------------------
No, you're not going to have to recompile everything. That's why BLOCK
CONTAIN 0 RECORDS is so important. Let the OPEN/CLOSE and access method
routines handle the differences "under the covers" and they'll manage
just fine. :-)
