DISK v1.0 - 09/06/91
Programmed By: Jason Keltz
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM:
DISK is a small program which allows you to view how much disk space is
available on a particular drive, both numerically and graphically. To use
DISK, simply go to the drive that you would like to have information on and
type DISK <cr>. This is, of course, assuming that you have placed the
DISK.EXE file in a directory that is located in your PATH statement. If
you have placed DISK in a directory that is NOT located in your path
statement, you will have to act accordingly. DISK will report to you the
maximum space of the current drive, the amount of space used, and the amount
of space free. DISK will also give you a percentage of disk usage, and will
graphically display how much disk space is used and free.
NOTES:
(1) If the capacity of a drive is less than 1 megabyte, DISK will report
its statistics in Kilobytes.
(2) If the capacity of a drive is 1 megabyte or more, DISK will report its
statistics in Megabytes.
(3) DISK will default to using colour mode in its display, but if you would
like to use the program without any colour (eg. on LCD screens) you can
run the program with a /M parameter. You can also run DISK /? to be
reminded of this point at any time.
(4) DISK will report an error if it is run on any drive that contains either
an unformatted disk or no disk at all.
(5) DISK will not give a graphical display if the disk in the current drive
is full. It will, however, report its other statistics and inform you
that all the space on the current drive is used.
(6) DISK will not give a graphical display if the disk in the current drive
is empty. It will, however, report its other statistics and inform you
that all the space on the current drive is available.
(7) Due to the fact that DISK creates its mini-graphical display by rounding
off the values for percentage of disk space used and percentage of disk
space available, do not be alarmed if the graphical display is not
100% precise! (eg. If 99.90% of the disk space was used, rounding this
value off would give 100% and would therefore fill the graphical display,
while not displaying the remaining percentage of disk space available)
Each space on the graphical display represents 1% of disk space.
ERRORS:
Although I have checked this program out to the best of my abilities, there
is always the possibility for error. If you use this program, you are doing
so at YOUR*OWN*RISK! (BUT! Just to make you feel a LITTLE bit better ...)
Due to the fact that this program never actually writes information to your
disk in any way, it is very unlikely that it could cause any damage.
SHAREWARE NOTICE:
The program which you have obtained is a FULLY functional version of DISK.
You can use this program for an UNLIMITED amount of time, whether you are part
of some corporation or are a home user.
I only ask two things of you:
(1) If you wish to distribute DISK as part of ANY other package, you MUST
write me a letter and get my permission for doing so BEFORE proceeding.
I will likely allow this action, but I feel that I have a right to know!
(2) If you plan on using this program on a regular basis, I would really
appreciate receiving a simple letter telling me what you think of the
program. After this, you can consider yourself a REGISTERED user of the
program.
THAT'S IT! Simple! No fees! No hassle! ..... Enjoy!
