Filer.exe v4.21 (950331) PTF fixed an issue where negative numbers are displayed for "Space used by compressed files" and "Space used if files were not compressed" on large volumes.

NOTE: Always make a backup of applicable files before applying new fixes.
1) Flag FILER.EXE contained in the PUBLIC directory normal or sharable, read/write.
     FLAG FILER.EXE N -or- FLAG FILER.EXE S RW
2) Rename FILER.EXE contained in the PUBLIC directory to FILER.ORG.
3) Copy the FILER.EXE provided with this update into the PUBLIC directory.
4) Flag the new FILER.EXE sharable, read only.
     FLAG FILER.EXE S RO

Filer shows negative number in "Space used by compressed files" and "Space used if files were not compressed"

The calculation for "spaceInUseCompressed" and "spaceNeededForCompressedFiles" was modified. Previously these values were calculated by multiplying the precompressed sectors/compressed sectors by the sector size and dividing by 1K. On large volumes (2 gig and larger) this multiplication can cause the CPU's 32 bit registers to roll over thus providing an invalid result. Modified the code to divide the precompressed sectors/compressed sectors by 1K and then multiply the result by
sector size.
