Do you mean 100,000 bytes of disk space, or 100,000 bytes of data? I guess you are thinking that the file occupies, on disk, 100K. In which case it will have 70K of data and 30K of empty space. But if you are thinking that the file contains 100K of data, it will actually occupy 142K of disk space. So this particular option "wastes" 30% of the disk space it uses, but uses 42% extra space to what it optimally needed assuming perfect packing. I know, it's fun to try get your head round it :-) Cheers, Wol _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
