FILES TOO LARGE FOR FLOPPY

Ever want to find the files 
that won't fit on a floppy 
when you need to do a 
doswrite to export something? 
This will do it:

find . -size +1440k -exec ls -ld {}\;

Note: This will list the files 
in the directory where you are,
that exceed the maximum size 
in kilobytes for a high-density
DOS format floppy. Please don't 
forget the single dot after 
"find" and you can change the 
1440k to whatever you want. 
(I once had a need to find 
stuff that was 3 megabytes and 
over to keep out of a directory 
so I used +3000k in place of the
+1440k above.)
