Pete,

Yeah, that's the right order of magnitude of the discrepancy.  Dunno if FAT
table would be that big, maybe.  I think Bernie might have it with the
"swap" file idea.  Plus maybe file & directory filenames making some
difference too, as Kat suggested.

I'll probably just ignore the discrepancy.

I just did a quick test on my D: drive and found it was out by
3,774,501 bytes. (Taking into account files in the root directory and
all hidden files  If that figure looks familiar maybe it's a FAT
table or something...
