I _don't_ want to create a 700MB HD on a 120GB drive, you're worried about 700MB? i'm not even worried about that on my little 30GB one.. ;-) > there some way of determining how much space a file (or series of files in > this case) on a large storage device will actually use on a smaller storage this would probably required you knowing about blocks and clusters and other geeky drive related items.. =) > --HangTime [Will Compute for Food] B-)> nice ^_^ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
