Hi, Well i assume it is endly correct : Coda give you the number in bytes : here 4Mb ! So convert it in Bytes ( octet ), divide by 8 you get 500 000 kB... so 500 000 ko.... The shell counts in Bytes ( octet ) and not in byte.... so everything is right i think.... This fu.... upper and lower"b" case....
