    Here goes:

C:\WINDOWS>dir system.bad

 Volume in drive C is SEAGATE
 Volume Serial Number is 155D-07CF
 Directory of C:\WINDOWS

SYSTEM   BAD       994,684  11-17-96  3:06p SYSTEM.BAD
         1 file(s)        994,684 bytes
         0 dir(s)     264,503,296 bytes free

C:\WINDOWS>du system.bad
486     system.bad

C:\WINDOWS>ls system.bad
system.bad

C:\WINDOWS>ls -l system.bad
-rw-r--r--   1 500      everyone   994684 Nov 17 15:06 system.bad

C:\WINDOWS>du -sk system.bad
486     system.bad

C:\WINDOWS>

     And it still doesn't get all the bytes and directories, but it
looks like 2K is the magic number, -k or not.
