Well, what does "SZ_1M" mean? Is it 1000 * 1000 (as on hard disk drives) or 1000 * 1024 (as on floppy disks) or 1024 * 1024 (as for memory sizes)? Instead of just seeing at first look what the code does, you have to look up the actual define, i. e. it obfuscates the code instead of being helpful. This has been discussed several times before on the list; see for example [1] or [2].
