- Determining the space required by a zero-length file:
-
- 1) Type DIR. Note reported free space
- 2) Type REM > FOO.BAR
- 3) Type DIR. Compare free space to that from step 1)
-
- Caveat: A directory entry takes 32 bytes (I think) of disk
- space. This means that every 2048/32 files requires allocating
- another cluster just for the directory itself.
