The .doc file would probably have a resource fork. And possibly that
resource fork contains only a 'usro' resource The terminal and by
extension cocoa cannot handle resource forks reliably, completely
ignoring their existence. If you want the real file size, you need to
use the carbon FSGetCatalogInfo function instead.

I have an odd little file size quirk that I wonder if anyone can
shed some light on.
I have four files in a directory.
Inspecting them with the Finder's Info panel I see
file 1 -- 7,774 (bytes)
file 2 -- 49,348 (bytes)
file 3 -- 169,472 (bytes)
file 4 -- 17,408 (bytes)
But looking at the same files programatically via the FileManager I see
file 1 -- 7,774 (bytes)
file 2 -- 49,152 (bytes) << it's different. but just a little.
(It's a Word .doc file)
file 3 -- 169,472 (bytes)
file 4 -- 17,408 (bytes)
The odd thing is that the files before and after agree with the "info".
doing an ls -al on the directory
agrees with the FileManager so it's "info" that's out, but I don't
understand why.
It's no big deal. I was just calculating how much I could fit on a CD
and noticed that my calculations didn't match the Finder.
Side Note: I tried to search mamasan but can only see the first page
of results
the Next arrow, or direct page selection yield
"You don't have permission to access /search/ on this server"
it shouldn't offer if it doesn't really mean it :-)
