- 1INTRODUCTION
- DRIV_MAN ˇis ˇa ˇdisk ˇutility management tool ˇthat ˇdisplays ˇpertinent
- logical ˇdisk ˇdrive data - up to twenty-six drives - on a SINGLE ˇSCREEN
- for analysis/storage.
-
- The DRIV_MAN display includes: DRIVE DATA SUMMARY with capacity, used and
- free ˇfor ˇeach available/selected drive, ˇDRIVE DATA GRAPH with the same
- data for each drive, ˇTOTAL DISK SUMMARY and GRAPH, ˇand INDIVIDUAL DRIVE
- DATA displaying information on one drive at a time.
-
- Program options include: Toggle any of six sort orders for the DRIVE DATA
- SUMMARY, ˇselectable/editable ˇdisplay ˇDRIVE RANGE, ˇdisk storage of the
- DISK DRIVE SUMMARY display, ˇand the ability to run a file manager, FILE-
- MAN, from within the program.
-
- Registered users may also change the various display colors, the location
- of the display sections, and various setup parameters.
-
- 2COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
- The syntax for DRIV_MAN is:
-
- [drive:path]DRIV_MAN [[first_drive][-][last_drive]][/a][/c][/gxxx][/m]
-
- where:
- first_drive default = C
- last_drive default = LASTDRIVE as defined in DOS/CONFIG.SYS
-
- /a = Automatically run DRIV_MAN and store the display.
- /c = Force CGA monitor.
- (/g)xxx = Optional configuration file extension (default is CFG).
- Use of the configuration file is limited to registered
- users only. Example: /gcg2 will use "DRIV_MAN.CG2".
- /m = Force monochrome monitor.
-
- Press [PAGEDOWN] for some first_drive - last_drive examples.

- 5[F3] STORE DATA
- The DRIV_MAN screen display, ˇof ˇthe Disk Summary Data, may ˇbe saved to
- allow comparisons with previous or future displays.
-
- Using this feature, ˇa snapshot may be saved before cleaning up a logical
- drive/drives ˇand then another ˇsnapshot saved afterward, for comparison.
- Another ˇuse ˇis ˇto take Disk Summary snapshots monthly to see ˇhow ˇthe
- system's disk status is changing over time.

- the program.
-
- 6[F4] SHELLING TO A FILE MANAGER
- FILE_MAN, ˇˇanother shareware program from MicroMetric, ˇis a menu driven
- file manager utility. ˇIt, ˇor another file manager, ˇmay be run directly
- from ˇDRIV_MAN ˇto ˇcopy, ˇˇmove, ˇdelete files ˇor ˇperform ˇother ˇfile
- maintenance functions.
-
- ->˙To ˇrun ˇFILE_MAN, ˇfirst select the desired drive ˇby ˇpressing ˇit's
- letter, and then press [F4].
-
- Registered ˇusers may change the name of the desired file manager by ˇuse
- of the configuration file.
-
- 7CONFIGURATION FILE
- The ˇoptional ˇDRIV_MAN ˇconfiguration ˇfile contains all of the ˇdisplay
- color and position variables. ˇˇThese ˇvariables are initially set to the
