Can someone please tell me what the proper 'd' (density) and 's' (size)
parameters one should use for dumping to a TK50 tape?  How about a
TK70?  The default parameters seem to waste quite a bit of tape.

If I give it ridulously large numbers, will it still detect end of tape
and prompt for the next volume?

Thanks for any information,
