	Hi;

	Can you get better results using UDF? -- windows should grok that
fine.

	Well, this is almost perverse (and probably slow), but
this invokation will tell you all the files greater than 99
characters long (in theory):

#>  find / -type f -exec bash -c 'echo "$(basename "{}" | wc -c) {}" ' \;
	| egrep '^1[0-9]{2}'

ps. If I was really doing this, I would have find -exec a separate more
sophisticated script or program, but I wanted to get it all on one command line.
Im sure there are more better ways to do this, but Im not highly invested
in getting there;)
