If you read the man page on the ARP Info, it says (more or less, I'm not at
home now): "The ARP Info command reports sizes based upon the actual amount
of data bytes per block (488 on OFS file systems), instead of (incorrectly)
assuming 512 bytes per block". When I upgraded to 1.3 and converted my hard
disk to FFS, I "magically" gained ((512-488)/512) more _usable_ disk space,
which ARP's Info command correctly showed, but the Amigados Info said I still
had the same amount of space...
