Subject: change mhlist to use decimal math when abbreviating sizes
X-Git-Url: https://diplodocus.org/git/nmh/commitdiff_plain/252f672ba218d1ed1f5018844dd007b5d2e6a860?ds=inline;hp=-c

change mhlist to use decimal math when abbreviating sizes

the K/M/G/T units imply factors of 1000, so make the code
match.  (the alternative would be to change the units to
Ki/Mi/Gi/Ti.)  mhlist output might someday be configurable
using mh-format, in which case the user will be able to choose.
