   One file on floppy or HD consists of one header block plus a number of

Don't forget that if the file is big enough, you get multiple header
blocks. I haven't checked 2.0 yet, but on 1.3 there's no way (that I
know of) to determine how many data blocks/header block. On the other
hand, everything uses 72.
