OpusFree V 1.1
WARRANTY--HAHA [2]
───────────────
You are free to copy and exchange the Opusfree program and its
documentation providing not to change them with any byte editor
or text editor. If you wish to use the program in some share-
ware package, please contact the author first.
No warranty is provided for this software (you break it, you bought
it!)...and its guaranteed to do nothing more than take up space on
your harddisk. Should the program somehow cause any damage to your
system, you assume all responsibilty and costs/efforts for repair.
OPUSFREE-WHAT IT DOES
─────────────────────
OpusFree is designed to provide you (and your users) an idea of how
much harddrive (or other) space is remaining on both the drive (via
the Sysfile path) they are accessing, and it also scans your entire
system to ascertain how much space you have available on other
partitions. After it accumulates this information, it will output it
both to the screen and thru the comport specifed in your Opus.Ctl file.
OpusFree V 1.1
INSTALLATION [3]
────────────
Installation of the Opus-Free program is fairly straight-forward. All
you need to do is to edit your BBS.CTL file (or equivilent) to include
an Outside command to execute OpusFree from your FILE-MENU.
Example:
%
FILE MENU "*Lazirus* File Section"
CHG_AREA Disgrace "Change FileArea"
_GOODBYE Twit "Goodbye"
F_UPLD Normal "Upload File"
F_DNLD Disgrace "Download
_OUTSIDE Normal "Opus Diskspace" = RUN D:\opus\Opusfree
Add the above line including your path to the Opusfree program. If you
are already using the "O" character in your filemenu, you will have to
use something else.
OpusFree V 1.1
SETTING THE ENVIRONMENT [4]
───────────────────────
To use OpusFree, the program first needs to know where your Opus 1.7
SYSFILE.DAT file lies. To find this, OpusFree needs for you to set
an environment variable either in your Autoexec.bat or Nerf.bat file
as indicated below.
SET OPUSSYS=<Directory to Sysfile.Dat>
example:
SET OPUSSYS=C:\OPUS\SYSTEM
RUNNING THE PROGRAM
───────────────────
You can run the program from Opus or from DOS. If running from DOS
you need to pass the files parameter (-f##) of the filearea you wish
to see the space free on.
example
OPUSFREE -F2
OpusFree V 1.1

PROGRAM EXECUTION
─────────────────
When OpusFree executes, you will see a listing of all your fixed
drives and a pointer indicating which filearea the user is in
(which corresponds to the DOS drive partition). This will show
you (or the user) how much total diskspace you have, how much is
allocated and how much remains.
