DOS Disk Speed Version 1.01 (c) Copyright 1994, Michael Gallias
This program tests the disk speed using simple disk reads and
writes. There are a lot of fancy testers out there that give great
reports, but the source is never released and the figures they
release are sometimes dubious.
Type DDS to run the program. 700kb of free disk space is needed for
the program to run. Disable any read or write caches you have
enabled otherwise the cache speed is tested, not the disk speed.
The program creates a temporary file called TEMP.$$$ so don't run
the program if you have such a file in the current directory. (You
shouldn't have such a file.)
Press a key to continue or exit when DDS is running.
You may modify the source code for your own use, but you may not
distribute the modified code. If you distribute this program, please
distribute the .EXE file and the .PAS file with all the .DOC files
together, all unmodified. You may use this program freely, but a
postcard would be appreciated. See DETAILS.DOC for my address.
If you really want to, you can send me a small donation. If you
like the program, I just want a postcard. As this is free software
I take no responsibility for any losses or damages caused by it.
Please EMail me or write to me with comments, suggestions or bug
reports.
To compile the source code, you will need the following source code
units, also written by me (also postware):
PSSTR Pascal Strings
PSCMD Pascal Command Line Control
They should be available at the same BBS or FTP site that you
collected this file from.
Ciao
Michael
