It requires at least Kickstart 2.0 (v37.175). Instead of listing directories like this: muiv23test.LZX 116529 ----rwed Today 17:36:34 ami2vga.iff 19288 ----rw-d Today 17:29:03 ftphunt.gz 13768 ----rwed 04-Jan-95 14:27:41 strputsize.c empty ----rw-d Saturday 23:57:09 ultoa020.o 444 ----rwed 28-Mar-95 19:11:11 ultoa020.c 331 ----rw-d 28-Mar-95 19:08:43 desert.rat.toxic.article.gz 3684 ----rwed Today 17:24:34 etherpeek 2369 ----rwed 04-Jan-95 22:21:34 electric.bulle 1416 ----rwed 04-Jan-95 22:16:54 9 files - 168 blocks used it lists them like this: muiv23test.LZX 114K 17:36:34 ----rwed ami2vga.iff 19K 17:29:03 ----rw-d ftphunt.gz 13K 04-Jan-95 ----rwed strputsize.c 0b Saturday ----rw-d ultoa020.o 444b 28-Mar-95 ----rwed ultoa020.c 331b 28-Mar-95 ----rw-d desert.rat.toxic.article.gz 3.6K 17:24:34 ----rwed etherpeek 2.3K 04-Jan-95 ----rwed electric.bulle 1.4K 04-Jan-95 ----rwed TOTAL: 9 files [154K] and 0 dirs [168K used, 10.5M free] Explanation: K = 1024 bytes (1 Kilobyte) M = 1024K (1 Megabyte) G = 1024M (1 Gigabyte) hence, 116529 bytes = 116529/1024 = 113.79K, or approximately 114K. In the TOTAL: lines, [154K] is all of the file sizes added together. [168K used] represents the _actual_ amount of disk space used by the _listed_ files and directory entries. If some files/dirs are hidden, they are not taken into account. [10.5M free] is the amount of space free on the device ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 3844 2472 35.6% 05-Apr-95 19:27:50 tlist.68000 3940 2531 35.7% 05-Apr-95 19:27:50 tlist.68020 7796 3381 56.6% 05-Apr-95 19:27:54 tlist.doc -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 15580 8384 46.1% 06-Apr-95 14:09:18 3 files
