Hi. I'm new to this list but have been a happy Linux user since the mid 
nineties.

I hate to be a pedant in my opening post but if 210 bytes = 1024 bytes 
then there may be a problem. I expect that it should read 2^10 bytes = 
1024 bytes. Alternatively a new 'efficient' form of compression from 
Microsoft...

Although it could be argued that a precedent of sorts has been set :-)

Hope to meet a few of you at the forthcoming AGM.


Walter.
