Actually - if you read the man page for ls on the suns, ls -s gives the
size of the file in blocks......
On seveal other systems, the number of kilobytes are returned.... The block
size is 512 and hence the factor of two difference....
Ls is performing as documented... (There are some standards committees pushing
for all utilities to return the sizes in blocks for such items as disk space
etc... This will probably happen more in the future).
