I am still under the influence of Vicodin and using the wrong hand to
hunt and peck on the keyboard so I cannot do details for a few days.  I
think you are very very close to having a great product.

I am in the  United States reading file sizes out of a Windows
directory, so the comma means thousands of MB.  My file is large.  I
think that you are in the EU.  Different comma, different locale.  :-)
