Description Need Real Name 2004-03-16 13:25:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
Most programs which show available memory/disk space have a -h option 
to show output in a human readable format, using the most relevant 
units.

Examples:
 df -h
 du -h
 ls -lh

free supports output in KB, MB, or GB but has no option to choose the 
most relevant unit.

Correcting platform to "all", from "s390".
