How many bytes equal a line?
I need to find out how many bytes equals a line. Any advice would be helpful.
To be EXACT 1024 bytes = 1KB.
//
$1.50/1000 bytes (about 9.75 cpl/65c w/spaces)NM

60 bytes equals a 60 character line. SM
If you have a document that equals 30,000 bytes you divide it by 60 to get 500 lines. If your line rate is 7 cpl, you have made approximately $35.
They used to do this years ago, before AAMT came out with the 65 character line standard. It all works out the same way eventually.
Bytes versus characters? Does anyone do their billing this way? sm
If billing by bytes do you divide this by say 65 (standard line), same as for characters? Thanks so much.
But we're not paid by bytes anymore..sm
in case you haven't heard lately, am I am being honest about it. We're paid half of what we were paid 10 years ago, salary is going down yearly on a more or less geometric level...this is line by line, got it?
Any body has heard about counting lines a 60 bytes?
I thought line counts was characters or keystrokes. I have been approached by a MT company who say they charge as "bytes". Does anyone know how we count using bytes?
File sizes are saved in Kilobytes. 1,000 bytes equals 1 Kilobyte.
