I like to use SpaceMonger (http://www.sixty-five.cc/sm/v1x.php 
<http://www.sixty-five.cc/sm/v1x.php> ) to see a graphical representation of 
files on a drive. 

To get a quick and dirty list of files that are so many days old, I'd use MS 
forfiles from the command prompt (I think this is a resource kit utility).

I know you are looking for a reporting utility but for quick and dirty view I 
love Sequoiaview which is a free utility that gives you a colored grapical 
treemap of the drive. The bigger the square the bigger the file. You can then 
right click on the square and get properties of the file and it will tell you 
when it was last accessed.  This will at least help you get the larger files 
off your drive in an expedient manner.

A bit off topic (but I've seen worse).  I'm looking for not just a "how much 
space" are directories/files taking up, but something that could give me age of 
files.

I'd like to propose a tiered storage plan, but don't have 20K to buy the top 
level programs to automatically move aged files.  I have to do the moving the 
old fashioned way by hand and it would be helpful to be able to say:
xxx- files are 6 months old
yyy - files are 18 months old  etc.

If I can tell folks, your file hasn't been modified or touched for the last 2 
years and it's sucking up 40% of my available disk space.  It is a lot easier 
to sell moving these old files off to tape so I don't keep backing them up over 
and over again.
