I recently uploaded an old utility, an application called ShowSizes, to 
the Info-Mac archives at SUMEX. It should be made available soon. 
Incidentally, it was written by Jon Pugh, one of the Info-Mac digest 
moderators. It displays finder-like windows, in which folders appear 
showing either their size in k or in % of the disk space and filled with a 
kind of bar graph that indicates the proportion of space taken up by each 
folder (and its subfolders). If must have been deleted from the archives 
because of its age, but it still works, even under MultiFinder.  Jon told 
me that he is working on a new, full featured version, using the Think-C 
Class Libraries.
