160 Gb. hum. An interesting way to look at a 20 GB drive. So... Two Macs side-by-side. Both just completed a data aquisition process. Both have produced a file and say it's 822 KB. Are those two files the same size? Or is one of the files 19,728 bytes (19.2 KB) shorter than the other? Another example... Two Macs looking at the same file on a server. Which is giving the correct size? Accuracy counts. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
