Bear in mind the quote Norman Dunbar uses in his article on Jonathan
Lewis' site (I assume it will come up in the search).

Quote from MetaLink : The capability to generate a formatted block
dump is primarily intended for use by Oracle Support and Development.
There is no externally published information available on interpreting
the contents of a blockdump and the information is considered
'internal' information.

It is rare, but not unknown, to *require* the ability to understand a
block dump.
