Minor filesize differences between "info" inspector and NSFileManager on SOME files.

Minor filesize differences between "info" inspector and NSFileManager on SOME files.

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 :-)

Thanks

Chuck
