Directory Size

Is there a way to know which is the size of a certain directory and all its structure ?
I only need the size, something like "du" command in linux.

I may be missing something, but just change to the directory and type "DIR" -- it will give total bytes taken up by the files in the directory. (Not familiar with "du" command in Linux).

Cam You are missing somethig. DIR will tell you what is in Main Directory but not the total of Main Directory and all Sub Directories, Which is what I think Nesta means. I know of windows utilities for this, but not a DOS one.
Any further Ideas, someone?
