Program : DFE (DAAG Front End) Version 1.0
-------
Release Date : July 1992.
------------
Purpose : - To provide a graphic snapshot of your system's
------- hard disk capacities.
- To launch DAAG (Disk-at-a-Glance) on the desired
drive with a single mouse click
Quick Start : Type "DFE" at the DOS prompt; that's it!
----------- Click on a "gauge" or type Alt + Drive Letter to
launch DAAG for that drive.
What is DAAG? DAAG is another shareware program of mine that provides
------------- a tree structured directory map with file sizes, pie
charts, and a printed report of your disk usage.
It is available in many Shareware catalogs, Compuserve
(IBMSYS Lib 1), and from me for $15.
How to read the Gauge: (Yes, it's backwards!)
---------------------------------------------
This gauge measures "free drive space". When the drive is full, the available
free space is empty. When the drive is empty (has no files or programs on it),
then the available free space is "full".
I took this reverse approach since we are accustomed to a gas gauge in a car.
A "full tank" is GOOD, and shows the needle all the way to the right.
An empty tank means trouble, and you better do something (like get more fuel)
immediately.
Likewise, a logical disk drive with plenty of free space is GOOD, and a
filled disk drive will cause trouble as soon as your next application needs
work space or tries to save a file.
Options:
--------
- Type (or click on Help) "H" for minimal On-line Help
- Type (or Click on About) "A" for an "about" message
- Hit (or click on Exit) Escape or Enter to end the program
- hit PgDn for additional Gauges (if you have more than 5 logical drives)
Notes : The program ignores "A" and "B" drives.
-------- Mouse operations are performed with the Left button
