I almost answered this one, but couldn't remember the particulars of a
problem that we encountered at one time.  We had a problem with blocking
using the S/36E commands vs. using the native SAVS36x commands.  Do you
remember the difference?  Was it on files?  All I remember was that a guy
spent a day on our /400 creating tapes for his /36 and then couldn't use them
(despite using the appropriate /36 cartridge which had been formatted on a
/36).  The manual (in the days before CD-ROM) clearly stated the problem, and
that using the native command was the appropriate answer.
