I very much agree on this, it is just as easy to spell out the entire word megabyte, kilobyte, and soforth... Why not just add this to the primer (which probly needs a bit of updating anyway) and then put it to use in the current documentation? If everyone agrees on that, I will even whip up a patch tomarrow or the next so that it may be added to the FDP. Comments? -- Tom Rhodes Gary W.
