        BTW, Thys, better use DIR /s/a to pick up the system and hidden
files. Else the usage is understated.

        In a small partition, I get:
                Used Bytes          Allocated Bytes
dos 6.21
dir /s          8226469
dir /s/a        8346165


My 4dos gives
dir /s          8226469                 8445952
dir /s/a        8346155                 8566784


My disk scanner, ds421b gives:
                8577024

        I assume the differences are due to different treatment of fat
tables, dir storage, etc.
