I'm not sure about this, someone told me that disk drive manufacturers
label their drives differently than you and I might think: a 20Mb drive
is actually 20,000,000 bytes, NOT 20*1024*1024.  Thus 20e6 bytes is
19.07 * 1024*1024 bytes.  So.... if the routine used to put the
size in the title bar does it this way then you're doing pretty well.

I don't know about those other sizes, however.

Anyone out there know better?
