OK, I did some further digging, and
(http://members.optus.net/alexey/prefBin.xhtml) has a list at the end of
the page of software that the author claims use the standard. From that
list:

Azureus - Has this (http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Data_units)
entry in the FAQ. All of the screen shots show 'kB/s'. but since they're
referring to bandwidth, it would be reasonable to conclude that they
intend decimal units.

Lynx - The documentation
(http://lynx.isc.org/current/lynx2-8-6/lynx_help/Lynx_users_guide.html)
consistently uses KiB instead of KB.

FreeDOS-32 - Their standards page
(http://freedos-32.sourceforge.net/showdoc.php?page=standards) states
that they comply with this standard.

Paul Bort
