WinDirUsage V1.4 - June 15, 1994
Copyright (c) 1993-1994 by Kevin Routley. All rights reserved.
WinDirUsage is a shareware MS-Windows utility that provides
a graphical display of disk space usage. This is a
convenient way to identify those directories which are the
biggest disk space consumers. WinDirUsage uses a pie chart
format and permits the examination of any directory on any
drive.
Several new features have been added to WinDirUsage since
V1.3, including a menu bar, printing support, and on-line help.
Installation
============
You most likely received your evaluation copy of WinDirUsage as
a .ZIP file. To install, unpack the .ZIP file into a directory
on your hard disk. Only WINDRU4.EXE is strictly required to
run WinDirUsage, the other files are not needed after you've
read them and ordered your registered copy. You may wish to
keep WINDRU4.HLP for future reference.
WINDRU4.EXE may be executed using the File|Run... command from
either Program Manager or File Manager. You may wish to create
an icon in Program Manager for convenient execution. Note that
you may specify a hard disk to read on the command line, so
WinDirUsage will read the indicated disk instead of the disk it
was executed from.
Getting Started
===============
WinDirUsage initially reads the drive it was executed on.
So if you run WinDirUsage from a floppy disk or another
drive which has no subdirectories, the pie chart will merely
show a circle and 100% of the disk space used by the files
in the root directory.
WinDirUsage allows you to select any drive on your system.
Click on the down arrow next to the pulldown menu in the
upper left corner to see available drives. When a drive has
been selected, WinDirUsage will read the contents of the new
drive.
For a directory that has subdirectories, WinDirUsage will
show a pie chart that has slices showing the size of each
directory tree. The list box also shows each directory,
sorted in order of size, largest listed first. The smallest
directories will not be shown in the pie chart but are shown
in the list box.
You can select a new directory to view in more detail by
either selecting the new directory in the list box, or by
clicking on the corresponding section in the pie chart.
WinDirUsage has many more features! See the online help
file for more information.
De-Installation
===============
Should you choose not to keep WinDirUsage, it may be
de-installed by deleting the files you restored from the
distribution set. Also, delete any Program Manager groups
and/or icons you may have created. Finally, delete
WINDIRU.INI from your Windows directory. Thats it!
Registration
============
This is an evaluation copy of WinDirUsage. You are free to
evaluate WinDirUsage for a period of 30 days after initial
installation, after which time you must register. Continuing
to use the evaluation copy after the evaluation period is
over is in violation of U.S. Federal Copyright laws.
The single-license fee for WinDirUsage is $15.00 (U.S.), plus
$2.50 (U.S.) shipping and handling. See ORDER-CC.TXT for
information on ordering with a credit card, and ORDER.TXT
for the order form.
When you register WinDirUsage, you will receive:
- A registered copy of the most recent version of
WinDirUsage. Only registered copies of WinDirUsage
will not always re-read the contents of the drive.
- Notification of new versions of WinDirUsage and
low-cost upgrades to the next release. Upgrades
are currently $10+$2.50s&h for registered users.
- Discounts on other Tekra Software products.
- Preferred technical support and new features.
- Satisfaction from supporting the shareware concept
The registration fee should be sent to:
Kevin Routley
Tekra Software
P.O. Box 7198
Nashua, NH 03060-7198
Please specify your preferred floppy disk size (5 1/4" or
3 1/2"). If no size is indicated you will be sent a 5 1/4"
diskette. Site liscensing is negotiable.
These fees are guarenteed through December 31, 1994.
