In XP this works

But this doesn't work i NT. Does anyone have any idea how to get it to work in NT?

Actually, it wouldn't work in XP. You forgot the /I.

#1,
I dunno /L bit this works in NT5:
=======================
@echo off
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
echo %~z1
if %~z1 GTR 10 echo biggger
========================

=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Thanks! But it wont work in NT 4. This is returned:
Invalid parameter to SETLOCAL command
The following usage of the path operator in batch-parameter
substitution is invalid: %~z1

For valid formats type CALL /? or FOR /?

I'm not running NT4. I guess that ~Z won't fly
You may need to use DIR and chop out the size. Before you go to the trouble, check and see if GTR works.
