I may have missed some discussion previously describing my questions.

1. For items with MB (megabytes), what is the definition of megabyte?
    1000*1000, 1000*1024, 1024*1024, ???

2. All items with MB are type int.
    Why are the items with Sectors type string instead of int?

3. The output for lists of names seems a bit odd to me.
           "total/name1 name2 name3"

    Most list items also have a return-count item.
       VolumeSets
        NumVS           int     total
        VolSets         string  "total/name1 name2"

       VolumeSetVolumes
        NumVSVols       int
        VSVols          string

       VolumeSetClasses
        NumVolClass     int
        VolClasses      string

       ClassVolumes
        NumVolClassVols int
        VolClassVols    string

       VolumeClasses
        ???             <<NONE>>
        MemberVolClasses string

    Its just a matter of string parsing, but except for the last case
    (wherein another item could be created for that count),
    I wonder if the string ought to be just the name lists without
    the count:   "name1 name2 name3 name4 ..."
    so that no special parsing needs be done to strip off the count.
