K is 2**10 or 1024, there cannot be ambiguity. We count in binary last time I checked. b is bit, B is byte. Reasonable approximation is expected from the read-eta, which works just fine. I don't think accounting for file tables, AU slack, and tcp/ip overhead is on the radar screen. __Stef ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
