|          SET BLOCKSIZE          |
+---------------------------------+
SET BLOCKSIZE TO <expN>

-----------------------------------
Specifies how FoxPro allocates disk space for storage of memo fields.
Default value - 64
-----------------------------------

If <expN> is an integer between 1 and 32, disk space for storage of memo
fields is allocated in blocks of <expN> * 512 bytes.  If <expN> is
greater than 32, disk space is allocated in blocks of <expN> bytes.
Specifying a value for BLOCKSIZE greater than 32 can result in a
substantial savings in disk space for the storage of memo fields.

To reset BLOCKSIZE to a different value after the file has been created,
set the BLOCKSIZE to a new value, then use COPY to create a new
database.  The new database has the desired BLOCKSIZE.
