[ale] writing to tape

[lists at serioustechnology.com (Geoffrey)]

When writing to tape, I see the following:

4204276+2204423 records in
4204276+2204423 records out

What do those two numbers represent?  I'm assuming they are related the 
the amount of data written, but google has not been my friend this morning.
