DISKLEFT Version 2.8 6 Feb 1994 DiskLeft, a Single-Screen Smart Disk Space Summary. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Free Product from the Makers of Personal Calendar(tm). …ÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕ—ÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕª ∫ Paul Mu§oz-Colman ≥ TECHNICAL SUPPORT: ∫ ∫ FunStuff Software ≥ Voice 703-435-1110 ∫ ∫ 11645 Charter Oak Court ≥ 703-693-5227 ∫ ∫ Suite 201 ≥ FAX 703-435-3130 ∫ ∫ Reston, VA 22090-4526 USA ≥ CompuServe 71141,1224 ∫ »ÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕœÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕº Purpose: DISKLEFT is a program to quickly display a profile of all logical ~~~~~~~ drives of your hard disks, correct to the byte. Operation: At the DOS prompt, type: ~~~~~~~~~ DISKLEFT for hard drives and network drives only DISKLEFT /floppy to additionally show drives A: and B: DISKLEFT /mono for forced monochrome display (for laptops) DISKLEFT /monitor for continuous display (any key quits) (updates once per second) DISKLEFT /debug writes data files with technical details on disk characteristics Options may be used in combination. Floppy Drives. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Floppy drives A: and B: are ignored unless the /FLOPPY option is included. Floppy drives other than A: and B: defined by device drivers are not affected by this option. Continuous Display. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For those in multasking environments (DESQview, Windows, etc), or on networks, the /MONITOR option is useful to watch disappearing disk space, as applications in other windows write to files. Debugging. ~~~~~~~~~ There are so many new disk storage mechanisms in the marketplace which use DOS drive letters, we included a /DEBUG option just in case you have a particular drive which is not properly displayed. Using the /DEBUG option will write two data files, DISKLEFT.DBG and DISKLEFT.DB2, which contained detailed information regarding the properties of each drive, as perceived by DISKLEFT. Output: The display from DISKLEFT is shown below: ~~~~~~ ⁄ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ-ø ≥ Disk Space Summary, Version 2.8 (in millions of bytes) ≥ ≥ Copyright 1990-1994 by FunStuff Software.

This file must reside in the directory in which you install DISKLEFT.EXE (if running under DOS 3 or later), or in the current directory (under DOS 2). DISKLEFT.CFG is created if it is not found. DISKLEFT.CFG contains instructions to modify the default color set. This is the contents of the default file: ⁄ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ-ø ≥ SETCOLOR ≥ ≥ 0,2,1,11,9,4,10,15,14,13,12 ≥ ≥ ≥ ≥ This is DISKLEFT's color configuration file.

History: . 2.8 - Added correction for CDROM drives under NetWare - Added CDROM category as bright red - Added detection for Stacker(r) drives - Added notification of drives which report space incorrectly - Added sensing for certain device-driven fixed drives - Added /MONITOR option for continuous display (any key quits) . 2.7 - Added indicator for DOS 6 DBLSPACE (stacked) drive in bright magenta . 2.6 - Correct display of ASSIGNed floppies to floppy color - Indicate unknown drive types (in unavailable color) - More precise isolation of drive types . 2.5 - Colored indicators added for: Floppy drives: bright green Network drives: bright blue SUBSTituted drives: dark blue RAMdrives: white Unavailable drives: red Grand total: yellow - Color configuration file. - /MONO option for laptops to force monochrome. - Separate totals for fixed & network drives, and grand total. - Differentiates between drives which are unavailable and not configured. - Senses use of device DRIVER.SYS for alternate floppy drives. - /? help option for syntax - Many cosmetic improvements. . 2.4 - Correct abort if program is started from a network drive. . 2.2 - Corrected reversal of "X" and "Y" drive labels. . 2.1 - Restore DOS environment colors upon program termination. . 2.0 - First public release; cosmetic changes to the screen colors. . 1.0 - Initial release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- By FunStuff Software, publishers of Personal Calendar, DiskLeft, Subjects, ATOSEdit, and other quality software. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 1990-1994 by FunStuff Software.
