||Put your money where your mouth is, Dave. The above note would
||imply that you can write an awk script that would generate a
||find command that looks something like this:
||
||	find dir \( -size n -o -size n+1 -o -size n+2 ... \)

No, I don't need an awk script for that, I type
	find dir -size +n ...

The awk script is to compare size against another file - for
that you'd run ls and use awk to extract the size to compare against.
