- This program enables the user to easily determine which clusters a
- specified file occupies. The first cluster on every disk is considered
- to be #2 (Don't blame me! That's the way DOS defines it!). If a file
- occupies a number of contiguous clusters, this program will not list
- each one seperately, but will list them as a range.
-
-
- Command Format:
-
- CHAIN [d:][path]filename[.ext]
-
-
- Examples:
-
- CHAIN SAMPLE.BAK (Will tell what clusters belong to the file
- SAMPLE.BAK on the current drive in the current
- sub-directory)
-
- CHAIN A:TEMP (Will tell what clusters belong to the file TEMP
- on the currently selected sub-directory of
- drive A)
-
- CHAIN \FRED (Will tell what clusters belong to the file FRED
- in the root directory of the current drive)
-
-
-
- Revision History:
-
-
- Version 2.00 First Released Version
-
- Version 2.14 Fixed some minor bugs
-
- Version 2.15 Fixed bug that would cause erroneous results
- on an AT with a 30 Meg Hard Disk
-
- Version 2.16 Added Usage Message
-
- Version 2.17 Fixed bug that caused all subdirectories
- to be reported as having zero clusters.
- CHAIN now reports only the physical size
- of a subdirectory and the logical size
- and waste report is suppressed. A message

- belongs to a subdirectory.
