DOCUMENTATION FILE ------------ SPACECHK Version 2.0
SPACECHK provides a bar-graph display of the disk drive storage in use. It
provides a quick, visual indication of the space remaining. With color display
systems, the bar graph goes from green, to yellow, to red as the space
remaining diminishes.
Additionally, starting with version 2.0, multiple drives may be plotted (up to
8) with an extra graph of total space used automatically plotted.
COMPATIBILITY:
DOS 3.3, 4.0 (Probably works with 2.0 and greater but it has only DOS 3.3
and DOS 4.0 have been tested)
INSTALLATION:
This program may be run off of floppy or hard disk. For hard disk use, simply
load it onto the desired directory.
INVOCATION:
SPACECHK X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 X7 X8
Where "Xn" are the drives to be scanned (A,B,C,....Z)
Note: Program will report discard any data
beyond the first 8 values.
Note: When no drive parameters are specified, the currently
logged drive will be plotted.
Up to 8 drives may be specified with the graphs for each drive plotted
sequentially. When more that one drive is specified, an extra bar graph will
be plotted to show the cumulative (summation) results of all drives specified.
Note that the maximum size of the total drive space must be less than
1000 M Bytes.
HINT:
You may want to rename the file "S.EXE" to facilitate easy invocation;
(e.g.: > S c d )
This program is released into the public domain and no fees may be charged for
its use or distribution. No warranty expressed or implied. I may be reached
on the EXEC-PC bulletin board or my home address for comments, questions, or
feedback.
