JPD> Dont harm the newbe.

Using 4NT (<URL:http://jpsoft.com./>) :

        iff %@filesize[file1.txt] LT %@filesize[file2.txt] then
                echo "file1.txt is smaller than file2.txt"
        elseiff %@filesize[file1.txt] GT %@filesize[file2.txt] then
                echo "file1.txt is bigger than file2.txt"
        else
                echo "file1.txt and file2.txt are the same size"
        endiff

Using REXX :

        size1 = stream('file1.txt','c','query size')
        size2 = stream('file2.txt','c','query size')
        select
        when size1 < size2 then
                say "file1.txt is smaller than file2.txt"
        when size1 > size2 then
                say "file1.txt is bigger than file2.txt"
        otherwise
                say "file1.txt and file2.txt are the same size"
        end
