-
- This program dispalys a map of the blocks allocated for the files and
- directories on a disk. It consists of a grid showing all the 1760 blocks of a
- disk. The x axis represents the 80 cylinders ( 160 tracks ) numbered from 0
- to 79, the y axis lists the 11 blocks from 0 to 10 for each side for a total
- of 22 blocks per cylinder.
-
- Blocks 0 and 1 are reserved for the boot block or a virus...! Block 880
- (cylinder 40, block 0) is for the root directory.

- Usage.
- You must first select the drive to be displayed in the block grid with the
- Drive menu. The name of the selected drive will be displayed at the left of
- the screen. Click on the white box for the root dir (block 880 in the center
- of the first line). The disk name will then be displayed in the top of the
- screen and a number of boxes will be colored. A box with only one color
- represents a directory block, a block with two colors is file's header block
- and contains the block numbers for this file.
-
- To display info on the colored blocks, simply click on the box and the
- description of that block will be displayed. When the box is a header block,
- all the blocks for this file will be colored in the same colors as the header
- blocks but in a way to set them appart from the header block. If ALL is
- selected, all the disk contents will be displayed.
-
- This program is written in assembler, it works from either the CLI or
- Workbench.
