How much wasted space is there in the blocks or blksize, slack bytes was the old name many moons ago
It depends on your definition of "wasted" - both libraries use 80 byte records, and some people on this list consider 73-80 wasted (on sequence numbers). According to BLK3390, the 27920 block size uses 98.5% of the track, whereas 3120 uses 82.6%.
For assembly language, compression of blanks would halve the required space?
