block size specified by value. If no input file
is named on the command line, the program assumes that
/dev/rmt0 is the input file. The information provided to

are the maximum and minimum elevation values and the
approximate UTM boundaries of each file. The program
assumes unlabeled tapes in ASCII format with no header or
trailer files.
