  7.           Purpose:  FREE.COM reports the number of unallocated
  8.                     bytes on a floppy or hard disk.
  9.  
  10.           Format:   FREE [d:]
  11.  
  12.           Remarks:  FREE is in many respects a companion program
  13.                     to SIZE.COM:  the latter tells you how much
  14.                     storage space you must have to make your
  15.                     copies, the former tells you how much you do
  16.                     have.
  17.  
  18.                     The information provided by FREE.COM is, of
  19.                     course, available with the DOS commands
  20.                     CHKDSK and DIR.  Where a large group of files
  21.                     is involved, however, the DOS commands are
  22.                     very slow in operation;  FREE is almost
  23.                     instantaneous.
  24.  
  25.                     Notes:
  26.  
  27.                     1.   Requires DOS 2.0 or later.
