Comments:

Fortran character string default size limit is 500 bytes. The compiler option "-q charlen=nnnn" will define a larger default. The actual compiler is xlf and, f77 simply invokes xlf.

The driver for exabytes (and probably other tapes) has a blocksize definition which must be set to "0" for our device read codes to work. It is often set to some specific block length by default.
