I've posted on Apple's and MacFixIt's boards (and searched their sites),
I've searched Roxio's (the maker of Toast) site and joined their mailing
list, I've searched VersionTracker, TuCows, Macdownload, CNet downloads,
Google Mac (which has since closed for some reason), and
AppleScriptCentral.com. In short, I exhausted my entire repertoire, as a Mac
guru, of resources before coming here. My last resort was Usenet, but as Mr.
Petrescu has agreed to help me, I won't have to go that route.

The problem isn't large ~files~; that's easy. It's large ~folders~ I'm
having problems with.

Actually, I'm surprised and pleased that someone has actually agreed to do
this for me. I posted here hoping someone knew of an existing solution. That
someone would create one was beyond my expectations.
