  6.           Purpose:  FREE.COM reports the number of unallocated
  7.                     bytes on a floppy or hard disk.
  8.  
  9.           Format:   FREE [d:]
  10.  
  11.           Remarks:  FREE is in many respects a companion program
  12.                     to SIZE.COM:  the latter tells you how much
  13.                     storage space you must have to make your
  14.                     copies, the former tells you how much you do
  15.                     have.
  16.  
  17.                     The information provided by FREE.COM is, of
  18.                     course, available with the DOS commands
  19.                     CHKDSK and DIR.  Where a large group of files
  20.                     is involved, however, the DOS commands are
  21.                     very slow in operation;  FREE is almost
  22.                     instantaneous.
  23.  
  24.                     Notes:
  25.  
  26.                     1.   Requires DOS 2.0 or later.
