  12.  >:How do I get a count of free bytes on a floppy disk or
  13.  >:any other device in ARexx?
  14.  
  15.  >:I tried "info" and scanning the output but that is akward...
  16.  >:Also, "info" give the count in blocks and that is not practical...
  17.  
  18. Why not? It's more accurate than free bytes. If you wanna know free bytes you do
  19.  
  20. free blocks * 512 = free bytes. I think it's only hd's than can have bigger blocks.
