The following "ls -lh" produces a 20megabyte report of the file size...

[bschone@endeavour bschone]$ ls -lh IRIX6.5.15m.tar.gz 
-rw-rw-r--    1 bschone  bschone       20M Feb  6 14:34 IRIX6.5.15m.tar.gz

Even though the file is 200 megabyte in size

[bschone@endeavour bschone]$ ls -l IRIX6.5.15m.tar.gz 
-rw-rw-r--    1 bschone  bschone  20629680 Feb  6 14:34 IRIX6.5.15m.tar.gz

[bschone@endeavour bschone]$ ls --v
