If you add a -k to the fileutils-3.16 version you'll end up with the same answer as the fileutils-4.0 version. I suspect (don't know, don't care) that this is a configuration issue. If you want to always be certain you could always use --block-size=512. Earnie. P.S.: I prefer to use the -h or -H switch for size output. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
