This tool allows a user to determine the entire uncompressed filesize (including human-readable output such as KB, MB, etc.) of a DAT or folder of DATs. This is very useful for those fortunate enough to have the space to keep their files uncompressed and also provdes a good baseline for maximum space a set will take up.
