- Free by Omar Siddique
- for the Amiga computer
-
-
- WHAT IS FREE?
-
- Free is a simple CLI utility that displays the number of bytes and kilobytes
- available and in use on any mounted storage device (e.g. hard drive or floppy
- disk).
-
- I wrote Free because the old, old utility I was using for this purpose
- (it was also called "Free") couldn't display byte amounts higher than 100
- million and had other problems, and I just bought a gigabyte drive (suddenly
- making the old utility rather useless). Free is also easier to use than the
- AmigaDOS info command, since it doesn't clutter the screen with so much text
- or force you to figure out what 13% of 23000 blocks is in bytes in your head.
-
-
- HOW TO USE FREE
-
- To use Free, type:
-
- Free <drive>
-
- with <drive> being the designation of any storage device (e.g. DF0:,
- WORK:, RAM:, etc).
-
- Simply typing "Free" by itself on the command line obtains information on
- the current drive.
-
- If you call Free with the name of an assigned device (e.g. FONTS:, S:),
- Free will return the information associated with the actual device (in the
- above examples, probably SYS:). To obtain information on individual
- directories, try Michael Illgner's "du" program.
