 JDBP> The EA size reported by DIR is the size as reported by the 16-bit
 JDBP> DosFindFirst/Next calls, and is the size of the 16-bit EA structures
 JDBP> in memory.  The size of the 32-bit EA structures as used by the
 JDBP> 32-bit DosFindFirst/Next calls is somewhat larger.

 JDBP> JP Software released an ironic note for 32-bit 4OS2 to the effect

 JDBP> jigger the sizes returned by the 32-bit calls to report the same
 JDBP> numbers from the DIR command as did CMD.

Very interesting... thanks!
