This little toy is designed to allow you to examine the sector
allocation on your disks. Instead of using the DOS to find files, it uses
the trackdisk.device and examines the sectors directly, traversing the
filesystem "by hand."
This is written for the Manx compiler; conversion to Lettuce may
or may not be trivial. To make this beastie, first download all the files,
then do this:
1> make
Simple, isn't it?
SYNOPSIS
fm [device [file]]
DESCRIPTION
fm is a utility that allows you to examine the sector allocation of
files on your disk.
Unallocated sectors are the background color; file control blocks
are rendered in color 1; data blocks are color 2; and sectors allocated by
other things show up as color 3.
Files to be examined are entered in the filename gadget. All
filenames must be a full path from the root. When entered, the program will
then attempt to find the file and display its allocation on the screen. If
an error occurs, the program will inform you. Errors may or may not be
fatal. However, the program does clean up after itself rather well.
To change devices, enter a new device name in the device gadget.
The program will then load the bitmap off the new device and display it. If
you wish to examine a different disk in the same device, you *must* hit the
device gadget and then press RETURN. Failing to do this causes (non-
destructive) problems, since the bitmap sector number is cached.
To re-display the current device/file, hit the refresh gadget. This
is useful if another task is running concurrently and writing to the disk.
Hitting refresh allows you to see the changes made to the disk.

Enjoy!
