TITLE :MS-DOS 6 DoubleSpace Files and Functions
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
This article contains a list of DoubleSpace files and their functions.
Filename Function
----------------------------------------------------------------------
DBLSPACE.BIN Main DoubleSpace Component
DBLSPACE.EXE For creation or modification of a DoubleSpace drive
DBLSPACE.HLP DoubleSpace on-line help file
DBLSPACE.INF DoubleSpace Setup information file
DBLSPACE.INI DoubleSpace information file
DBLSPACE.WIN Used to keep track of Windows during
DoubleSpace installation
DBLSPACE.SYS Allows MS-DOS to load DoubleSpace device driver high
DBLSPACE.00x Actual DoubleSpace drive stored as a file
More Information:
For definitions of terms used in this article, please see the
DoubleSpace Help.
DBLSPACE.BIN
------------
MS-DOS uses the DBLSPACE.BIN component to mount the compressed volume
file so you can access the files on your compressed drive. This file
loads automatically if it is in the root directory of the startup disk
(no device= line is needed). If you want to load DBLSPACE.BIN into
upper memory, see the DBLSPACE.SYS section of this article.
DBLSPACE.EXE
------------
This file allows you to mount, create or modify DoubleSpace drives.
DoubleSpace accepts the following parameters:
DBLSPACE /CHKDSK [/F] [drive:]
DBLSPACE /COMPRESS drive: [/F] [/NEWDRIVE=drive2:] [/RESERVE=size]
DBLSPACE /CREATE drive: [/NEWDRIVE=drive2:] [/SIZE=size | /RESERVE=size]
DBLSPACE /DEFRAGMENT [/F] [drive:]
DBLSPACE /DELETE drive:
DBLSPACE /FORMAT drive:
DBLSPACE [/INFO] drive:
DBLSPACE /LISTDBLSPACE /MOUNT[=sss] [drive:] [/NEWDRIVE=drive2:]
DBLSPACE /RATIO[=r.r] [drive: | /ALL]
DBLSPACE /SIZE[=size | /RESERVE=size] [drive:]
DBLSPACE /UNMOUNT [drive:]
For more information about DoubleSpace command-line options, type HELP
DBLSPACE or HELP DBLSPACE /switchname (where /switchname is the name
of the switch about which you want more information) at the command
prompt.
DBLSPACE.HLP
------------
This file contains help on DoubleSpace. To access this file, run
DoubleSpace and choose Contents or Index from the Help menu.
DBLSPACE.INF
------------
The DoubleSpace Setup information file is helpful when creating a new
DoubleSpace drive, but it is not required.
Commands under the [SpecialFiles] section indicate actions to be taken
for specific files; the possible actions are COPY=, IGNORE= and MOVE=.
Without a path, any file of that name will match; wild cards (?, *)
are acceptable.
Programs under the [CopyFiles] section are optional utilities that
will be left on the original boot drive if there is enough room..
Programs under the [dangerous] section will be remarked out using the
REM command from CONFIG.SYS file during DoubleSpace Setup but will not
be remarked after Setup has completed.
Programs under the [prior] section will have DEVICEHIGH=DBLSPACE.SYS
placed ABOVE them in the CONFIG.SYS file.
DBLSPACE.INI
------------
This file is used by DoubleSpace to mount the compressed volume and
swap drive letters. The file contains the following settings:
MaxRemovableDrives=
FirstDrive=
LastDrive=
MaxFileFragments=
ActivateDrive=
DBLSPACE.WIN
------------
This is a temporary file that DBLSPACE.BIN generates to keep track of
windows information when a drive is compressed. It should
automatically be deleted after DBLSPACE.BIN completes the compression
of the existing drive.
DBLSPACE.SYS
------------
The DBLSPACE.SYS device driver does not provide access to the
compressed drives; it simply makes it possible for DBLSPACE.BIN to be
loaded high. If you do not plan to move DBLSPACE.BIN into upper
memory, you can safely remove the DEVICE=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS line from
your CONFIG.SYS file.
DBLSPACE.00x
------------
A compressed drive is not a real disk drive, although it appears that
way to most programs. Instead, a compressed drive exists on your disk
as a hidden file called a compressed volume file (CVF). DBLSPACE.00x
is the compressed volume file.
