My copy of the manual specifically states that the argument to the -size
option is a number of blocks, where a block is defined as 512 bytes.  I
suspect that being able to attach the letter c to the end of the number is
either a BSD feature or a SunOS feature.  To accomplish the intended task
I would recommend using "-size +7" which is a little bit larger than 3500
bytes or "-size +6" which is a little bit smaller.
