You could probably write something shorter in Perl or Python, but this is Unix, so we'll use 'C'. (I should write this in lisp just to show off how short programs are in lisp, but I doubt there are three other lisp hackers in the state.) You'll want to look for the following code and do

Q1: What utility can I use to find out where the bulk of my files are? I'm running out of room and have created some bigger ext2 partitions and want to map the larger stuff over there. I tend to do du -sk *|sort -rn|more in successively deeper directories to track down where the space has gone.
