When counting up the files used in the various directories on my
Compaq-plus, I found that a little over 3MB were accounted for.
Yet the checkdisk program claims that just over 7MB are in use,
with 28KB in "hidden files".  One might expect a little bit of
overhead for directory pointers and such, but this amount seems
absurd.  Does anyone have a theory that will account for the
discreprency?
