Here goes:
C:\WINDOWS>dir system.bad
Volume in drive C is SEAGATE
Volume Serial Number is 155D-07CF
Directory of C:\WINDOWS
SYSTEM BAD 994,684 11-17-96 3:06p SYSTEM.BAD
1 file(s) 994,684 bytes
0 dir(s) 264,503,296 bytes free
C:\WINDOWS>du system.bad
486 system.bad
C:\WINDOWS>ls system.bad
system.bad
C:\WINDOWS>ls -l system.bad
-rw-r--r-- 1 500 everyone 994684 Nov 17 15:06 system.bad
C:\WINDOWS>du -sk system.bad
486 system.bad
C:\WINDOWS>
And it still doesn't get all the bytes and directories, but it
looks like 2K is the magic number, -k or not.
