I surmised that this might be the case; the attachment seems to prove
it. I do recall your mentioning 64-bit arithmetic.

The Help has been improved in the paragraph that explains the format of
the printed report; I think it is clear now.

Things look a lot more reasonable -- good work!

One difference I notice in my experiment is that 3.02 showed the
directories in descending order by size. In 3.03, the USER directory is
shown first, though it is smaller than CDWFS; after that, all the others
seems to be in descending order. Again, see the attachment.
