> But the default blocksize for TAR is 20. (Always has been, always will be :-)

When tar was originally released by Bell, with the Seventh Edition,
its default blocksize was 512 bytes.  That's still the default on
many systems that include it.  The one major exception is for tar's
derived from Berkeley VAX distributions, where the default is 10240.
