Displaying directories sizes
diskusage & diskusagew are two java programs (jdk 1.0.2) that display
a list subdirectories and the size they occupy on the disk (as unix' du).
To use them, you need a java interpreter. You can freely download the java
run time environement (JRE) from javasoft web
site.diskusage is ran from the command line (e.g. "jre -cp . diskusage").
diskusagew displays its output in a window. It calls diskusage in a separate
thread, and sorts and displays its ouput in another one. Thus the display
is continously updated, allowing to display large directories before the
full file system is scanned (it is therefore much faster than "du | sort")
