Oops!  That program I posted has been laying around our site for
awhile.  The inter-record gap for 6250 tapes is .3 inches, but is
.6 for 1600 bpi.  If you change the program to account for this,
you do indeed get same numbers as the DEC Peripherals Handbook.
The changes are simple:

	Make `density' an int and fix it's scanf format string.
	Add a variable `gap' (double).
	After getting `density' put a switch and set gap accordingly.
	Change that 0.6 to `gap'
