thanks

Patch applied, except that "1 k and 2 k blocksize" looks horrible; I
much prefer "1k and 2k blocksize".  So I reverted that part of the
patch.

It may be the preferred style for SI units, but these are the same
jokers who suggest the use of ridiculous terms like "tibibytes" (a
term I reject, since while they may get to define what a metre is,
they don't have the authority or responsibility to define what a
"byte" means --- and if they did, they'd probably insist on ten bits
in a byte :-).

In any case, in the computer world we very regularly do *not* put a
space between the number and units: i.e., 640k memory.

Best regards,

                                                - Ted
