I think many of us are intrigued as to what the new USELARGETAPEBLOCK
server option is about. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the level 15
server README file about the then-introduced option. I also performed
a Search on the ADSM Web page, and the IBM Boulder database, neither
of which turned up anything. Looks like documentation was overlooked
in introducing this option. Richard Sims, BU
