Hi Nello
Neither seem to be the case. I don't use any packages and the file size is
the actual file size -- not the amount of disk space it's using. Windows
always reports the actual file size in Explorer. A DOS dir also clearly
shows one file being bigger than the other.
So still a mystery then.
Cheers,
Ross.
