DUW Version 1.21 - disk usage information system for Windows NT/95 Copyright (c) 1995-96 Markus Seger (m.seger@ids-scheer.de) You know the problem: you want to install this new cool software but you don't have enough free disk space! Well, no problem, just delete some files to recover free disk space. But where to start? Which of the 100 directories use all the disk space? Disk usage can help you solve this problem. Disk usage examines your hard disk and shows you how many space your directories use! You can quickly locate the big ones and delete them, if desired. Installation: ------------- To install Disk usage for Windows run SETUP.EXE and follow the instructions. SETUP copies the necesary files to your system and creates the program items. Uninstallation: --------------- If you want to get rid of Disk usage for Windows double-click on the "Uninstall Disk usage" icon. This will completely remove Disk usage from your system. If you are using Windows 95, you can alternatively start Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs and select "Disk usage" from the list of uninstallable software. Usage: ------ To start Disk usage, simply double-click on the Disk usage icon or double-click on DUW.EXE in the File Manager or Windows 95 Explorer I didn't have the time to write a user manual for Disk usage but I think Disk usage is really self-explaining. Maybe I will add a small users guide in the next version of Disk usage. System requirements: -------------------- Disk usage requires Windows 95 or Windows NT. I haven't tested Disk usage on Win32s! How you can contact me: ----------------------- I would like to here from you.
