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.)
