  1.           FREE                                       Art Merrill
  2.           ______________________________________________________
  3.  
  4.           Purpose:  FREE.COM reports the number of unallocated
  5.                     bytes on a floppy or hard disk.
  6.  
  7.           Format:   FREE [d:]
  8.  
  9.           Remarks:  FREE is in many respects a companion program
  10.                     to SIZE.COM:  the latter tells you how much
  11.                     storage space you must have to make your
  12.                     copies, the former tells you how much you do
  13.                     have.
  14.  
  15.                     The information provided by FREE.COM is, of
  16.                     course, available with the DOS commands
  17.                     CHKDSK and DIR.  Where a large group of files
  18.                     is involved, however, the DOS commands are
  19.                     very slow in operation;  FREE is almost
  20.                     instantaneous.
  21.  
  22.                     Notes:
  23.  
  24.                     1.   Requires DOS 2.0 or later.
