- FREEDISK.C -- Free disk space application for Microsoft Windows
- Written by Harold Long
- Adapted from "FREEMEM.C" uploaded by Charles Petzold
-
- This is another little program, based on the "Free memory space" article
- presented in the March 1987 issue of Microsoft Systems Journal. It is
- not quite as short as FreeMem, but still only requires 6 K of memory when
- running.
-
- It displays in the icon area the number of free bytes (up to 9999 Kbytes
- and then 2147 Mbytes, at which point the 32-bit arithmetic will roll over
- and tell you that you now have negative disk space) of the disk which was
- the "default" when FreeDisk was started. Multiple copies may be run,
- each pointing to a different disk, if you want. The size is checked once
- a second and the window repainted only if the number is different from
- the previous count.
-
- It may be useful for development programmers, alerting the user when
- a WinApp runs away with the disk. Otherwise, it's another neat program
- for us speedometer freaks.
-
- Source code is included, as well as a complete runtime version number
- chart embedded in the source comments.
