Comments

The main purpose of CONVERT is to turn the numbers you get in a DIR listing into something meaningful. These numbers are often too large to understand in bytes and are easier to understand in K or megabytes. It can calculate file sizes of up to  2 * 1026 Terabytes. More than enough for the foreseeable future..
