KNOWDISK - Was originally part of another work named SAUCE. I don't
have the time to update the whole Sauce program so I pulled
this part out and made it a separate work.
ADDITIONS - I added a few items to Knowdisk that aren't found in the
original work. Among them are a Select ALL check box
enabling the user to check all the disk options at once.
A bar graph that shows graphically how much free space
you have left along with how much of your disk is being
used. I also added a check box that will change the
calculations in the display from MEGABYTES to BYTES.
(This option will only effect TOTAL, FREE and USED display
areas.)
OVERVIEW - Though I feel the program is self explainatory some kind
of overview will always benefit. When the program starts
it will immediately display a list of check boxes and
explainations as to what they do. By 'checking' these
boxes, selecting the drive via the spin button then
pressing 'EXECUTE', information on all checked items
will be returned.
To quickly check ALL options, check the ALL OPTIONS box.
All options will be automatically checked. Press EXECUTE
and every option will return information.
The option to change MEGABYTES to BYTES and back was added
for my own benefit. I would rather deal with MEGABYTES.
It remains an option for those who would rather view
BYTES instead.
Every HD starting with 'C' will read in the drives spin
button area. If you want to view a floppy that drive
must be typed in manually.
To EXIT the program, select quit.
VROBJ.DLL - This DLL is required to execute ANY VX-Rexx made program.
Put it either in your LIBPATH in your config.sys or in
the same directory as this program.
*** The current version is 2.12 - Dated 12/23/94. ***
QUESTIONS - ANY questions, bug prob., comments etc. will not go
unanswered. Even if the answer is 'I dunno!' which is
a good possibility.
