Come on people,  a slow RTFM of Chapter 2 & 3 reveals all the answers!!!


Well, I did a "slower" than "quick" RTFM and I'm damned if I could find it.
Don't tell me, let me see if I can guess :

-How slow is a "slow RTFM". Should I study the two chapters over the
weekend ?
-Should I keep notes of all numbers mentioned (Block factor, no of
datasets, media record etc) and then do various sums with them ?
-Is the answer coded perhaps in binary or hex somewhere ?
-Do I have to RTFM under ultra-violet light to reveal hidden text ?
-Do I need a masters in the English language ?

Kidding aside you are of course quite right !!

It's hidden in that cryptic paragraph about Data Entries on page 2-2, isn't
it ?
I didn't even know what a "Data Entry" referred to.
I still wouldn't if it wasn't for the explanation "(sometimes referred to
as a record)". What does it mean "sometimes" ? it's always referred to as a
record !!

It had to be in there somewhere. Well spotted and thanks to you and all the
others that answered (both thru the list and private).
