- WinDirUsage V1.4 - June 15, 1994
- Copyright (c) 1993-1994 by Kevin Routley. All rights reserved.
-
- WinDirUsage is a shareware MS-Windows utility that provides
- a graphical display of disk space usage. This is a
- convenient way to identify those directories which are the
- biggest disk space consumers. WinDirUsage uses a pie chart
- format and permits the examination of any directory on any
- drive.
-
- Several new features have been added to WinDirUsage since
- V1.3, including a menu bar, printing support, and on-line help.
-
- Installation
- ============
-
- You most likely received your evaluation copy of WinDirUsage as
- a .ZIP file. To install, unpack the .ZIP file into a directory
- on your hard disk. Only WINDRU4.EXE is strictly required to
- run WinDirUsage, the other files are not needed after you've
- read them and ordered your registered copy. You may wish to
- keep WINDRU4.HLP for future reference.
-
- WINDRU4.EXE may be executed using the File|Run... command from
- either Program Manager or File Manager. You may wish to create
- an icon in Program Manager for convenient execution. Note that
- you may specify a hard disk to read on the command line, so
- WinDirUsage will read the indicated disk instead of the disk it
- was executed from.
-
- Getting Started
- ===============
-
- WinDirUsage initially reads the drive it was executed on.
- So if you run WinDirUsage from a floppy disk or another
- drive which has no subdirectories, the pie chart will merely
- show a circle and 100% of the disk space used by the files
- in the root directory.
-
- WinDirUsage allows you to select any drive on your system.
- Click on the down arrow next to the pulldown menu in the
- upper left corner to see available drives. When a drive has
- been selected, WinDirUsage will read the contents of the new
- drive.
-
- For a directory that has subdirectories, WinDirUsage will
- show a pie chart that has slices showing the size of each
- directory tree. The list box also shows each directory,
- sorted in order of size, largest listed first. The smallest
- directories will not be shown in the pie chart but are shown
- in the list box.
-
- You can select a new directory to view in more detail by
- either selecting the new directory in the list box, or by
- clicking on the corresponding section in the pie chart.
-
- WinDirUsage has many more features! See the online help
- file for more information.
-
- De-Installation
- ===============
-
- Should you choose not to keep WinDirUsage, it may be
- de-installed by deleting the files you restored from the
- distribution set. Also, delete any Program Manager groups
- and/or icons you may have created. Finally, delete
- WINDIRU.INI from your Windows directory. Thats it!
-
- Registration
- ============
-
- This is an evaluation copy of WinDirUsage. You are free to
- evaluate WinDirUsage for a period of 30 days after initial
- installation, after which time you must register. Continuing
- to use the evaluation copy after the evaluation period is
- over is in violation of U.S. Federal Copyright laws.
-
- The single-license fee for WinDirUsage is $15.00 (U.S.), plus
- $2.50 (U.S.) shipping and handling. See ORDER-CC.TXT for
- information on ordering with a credit card, and ORDER.TXT
- for the order form.
-
- When you register WinDirUsage, you will receive:
-
- - A registered copy of the most recent version of
- WinDirUsage. Only registered copies of WinDirUsage
- will not always re-read the contents of the drive.
-
- - Notification of new versions of WinDirUsage and
- low-cost upgrades to the next release. Upgrades
- are currently $10+$2.50s&h for registered users.
-
- - Discounts on other Tekra Software products.
-
- - Preferred technical support and new features.
-
