WatchDISK (32 bit version!) is a program that is made for
people with large hard disks (especially network administrators
with large volumes) that need to keep track of where their
disk space is going.

Basically WatchDISK begins in a start directory.  Each
subdirectory is then scanned (including all subdirectories) for
its total size.  Each of the top level subdirectories are then
displayed in the Disk Space Grid.  This scan is dated and saved.
The next time you notice disk space is low, or you just want to
clean up, run WatchDISK again and rescan.  WatchDISK will display
the two scans side by side (and even sort them by amount of
change if you wish) helping you easily and quickly see where the
disk space has disappeared to since last run.  You can print
the scan results to a comma-delimited file that can be imported
into most spreadsheets.

WatchDISK is a 32 bit program written for Windows 95 or
Windows NT 4.0+.  It works on any drive types, and has the option
of considering compression.  It can scan drives that are up to
thousands of Terabytes in size (theoretically--I don't actually
have a drive that large to verify this claim).

The Shareware version of WatchDISK is completely functional (with
some reminders to register that come up now and then).  You can
register it by sending $35 to me (run WatchDISK for more details)
or by registering through CompuServe (GO SWREG, ID=12765, cost=$45).
