According to jim@applix.com (Jim Morton):
>Remember that unlike Xenix filesystem blocks, these are 1k blocks [...]

Just a note:  Xenix filesystem blocks >are< 1K.  Many utilities, such as ls
and du, print statistics in "blocks" of 512 bytes; but you can tell it's a
subterfuge, since a one-byte file occupies >two< 512-byte "blocks".
