- Bytefree
- v. 3.3
- ========
- 07/19/88
-
- Both a Desk Accessory and a Program at the same time! Read below!
-
- Version 3.3 now has the resource imbedded in the program itself, which
- saves the program from having to load it seperately, and also saves 37K
- in the process. So if you were leary about memory usage before, this
- version reduces memory overhead by about 50%!
-
- [If you have any ideas for this program, or for another program, please
- get ahold of me. I've been looking for a decent project, and would be
- willing to consider most ideas...]
-
- This is the third version of my hard drive free space listing program.
- I wrote the first one so that I could find the free space on all
- available partitions of my hard drive (very helpful for bbs maintenance)
- and it wasn't very fast. It would take 17 seconds on my 8 partition
- hard drive. The second version was much faster (it took alot of extra
- work!) and now it took about 1.5 seconds.
-
- The third version is even faster still, and has replaced the tos
- based interface with a gem interface. The program is fairly unique in
- that it is both a desk accessory and a program at the same time. To use
- it as a desk accessory, you need to rename the program file to
- bytfre33.acc, and place it and the resource file on your boot drive where
- the rest of your accessories are located. If you want to run it as a
- program then all you have to do is leave it named bytfre33.prg and it will
- run fine as a program.
-
- The program will display the free space on each partition, listing both
- bytes and Kilobytes and percent used. A total of the same is kept at the
- bottom of the dialog, and the user may deselect active drives at will, and
- the current total will be continuously updated. To deselect a drive, you
- click on the drive letter for the drive you want to deselect. The program
- will remember your choices until you exit the program. If you have the
- program configured as a desk accessory though, your choices will be
- retained between usages. This will allow you to remove the results from
- your ram disk program if it is affecting the totals.
-
- I have included the old tos version in the arc for the people who use
- shells more than the desktop.
-
- If you are running a bbs, or collect alot of software on your hard drive
- I am sure you will find Bytfree to be useful.
-
- Without a hard drive, this program is just a free memory lister, but
- even at that it is useful!
-
-
- Bytefree is SHAREWARE. You may use it all you want, without having to pay
- for it, but if you like to see useful utilities released by
- me and other SHAREWARE committed programmers, then send a donation
- to the address below!
-
- (Hey, even $1.00 will buy me a Super Big Gulp to drink while writing
- my next program! So, no amount is too little.)
-
-
- ========
-
- If you have any suggestions at all on how it could be improved, then by
- all means get ahold of me at my address/phone below, or on the bbs.
