I compressed a folder, it was ~400 kb... I decompressed it, added ~15 lines to one BAS file, and now it's 816 kb! How...?

Edit: I recompressed it, and now it's back to 400 kb... still wondering, what happened?

Maybe Winzip used the "no compression - only archive".

WIN/95s' hard-drive-space-available indicator corrupted for some reason on my computer - I highlighted my 1.25GB HD icon and it said I had ~150MB available, then refreshed "My Computer" and the space-available indicator changed to 80MB. Maybe the same thing is happening to you.

Winblows uses HD's for "Virtual Mem" so that's prolly the reason for the inconsistency.
