That was me (I use the "fw" prefix to distinguish "Fourth World" library stuff).

Here ya' go:


function Bytes2Size n
  set the numberformat to "0.#"
  if n < 1024 then put n &" bytes" into n
  else
    put n / 1024 into n
    if n < 1024 then put n &" k" into n
    else
      put n / 1024 &" MB" into n
    end if
  end if
  return n
end Bytes2Size


Things have changed since I wrote that. Might be good to update all the way up to TB.
