I am too lazy to check ;-) Of course. A certain magneto optical manufacturer created a 605MB drive, which they marked as 640MB, trying to make it sound like it had the same capacity as a CD. Even with 1,000 bytes 634,388,480 is quite a stretch to call 640MB. I never found the footnote "____ defines megabyte to be 991232 bytes". Dave
