[geeks] find - having a senior moment

[John Francini]

Actually, GNU du will let you use:

-b, --bytes		report sizes in (allocated) bytes
-B, --block-size=SIZE	use SIZE-byte blocks (use --block-size=1 for  
same effect as -b)
--apparent-size	report sizes in written bytes -- size may be larger  
than allocated "due to holes in ('sparse') files, internal  
fragmentation, indirect blocks, and the like"

BSD du will respect the value of the BLOCKSIZE environment variable.

Dunno about Solaris.
