Hmm, guessing : EXPLORER only counts space wasted by files. It doesn't count
space wasted by directories and FATs etc...

(BTW, 4,634,253,213, ?????.... I hope it's a typo... )

4,419.57 is 4,634,253,213 (from properties of R) / 1024^2... 'dir' seems to
use 217303.

IIRC, on _my_ Win98, 217302 works on plain DOS mode... I'll do some tests.
