[MacPerl] Mac File 'GetInfo' Size Descrepancies

I'm unclear why in Mac OS, if one selects a file, then chooses 'File/Get
Info', the file size is shown as two distinct fields (xk on disk, y
bytes).

a. Whats the significance of the two numbers? and
b. Why is it that if the same file is copied to/from a floppy and a hard
disk, the values shown for 'on disk' will be different on the floppy
than will be shown for the hard disk?
