How about this bash script:

-----------------------------------------

cd /home/adamsj

for line in ` du -a -b 2>/dev/null| sort -g -r |head -n 200| sed
s/^[0-9]*s*//g`do

if [ -f $line ]; then
    echo `du -h $line`

fi

done
-----------------------------------------

Would love to say that I did that all by myself.. but I didn't.
