   The following three lines are taken from the man page for find(1) on SunOS 4.1,
   and are the entire discussion about the size qualifier.  My interpretation is
   that the + syntax doesn't work on SunOS, at least.  I wouldn't care to generalize
   to other flavors of Unix...

try it, it work(ed) on SunOS 4.0.3, Ultrix 4.0, and BSD 4.3 (Vax).  Learn
something new every day...
