As usual, you are correct. However, here is the strange report of the
command
pdir/(zc 4@filesize[*] zk @filesize[*,k] zK @filesize[*,K] fn)/os
0 0 0 0 0 0 0000.txt
1 1 0 1 0 1 0001.txt
2 2 0 1 0 1 0002.txt
997 997 0 1 0 1 0997.txt
998 998 0 1 0 1 0998.txt
999 999 0 1 0 1 0999.txt

Notice the zS (where S is a magnitude prefix) truncates (equivalent to using
the FLOOR function), while %@filesize[*,S] rounds up even 1 byte (as the
CEILING functon does). In many situations one would like to have something
closer to the rounding done by @EVAL.
