- Disk Storage Tiny 1.00 By: Khalid Aldoseri.
- ---------------------------------------------
-
-
- This is a tiny version of 'Disk Storage' also by the same author.
-
-
- This is a small program that will run from either the WB or CLI.
- It will display a list of ALL currently mounted devices, including hard disk
- partitions on the Workbench screen, i.e. it does not have its own window,
- so you have no way of communicating with it. That also means that it
- takes very little memory (no chip mem at all) and very little processor time.
- The display looks something like this:
-
-
-
- Name: Used Free Size
-
- DF0: 15.4% 10 837
- DF1: 1.9% 129* 837
- DF2: - No Disk Present -
- DH0: 33.9% 6742 19864
- DH1: 56.6% 1118 19734
-
- --CHIP-- --FAST-- --TOTAL-
- 344176 1412104 1756280
-
- RAM Disk Size: 34 k
-
-
-
- Description of columns:
-
- Name : Name of Device.
- Used : Gives the percentage 'disk full'.
- Free : Amount of free memory in device in Kilobytes.
- Size : Total device storage in Kilobytes.
-
- Chip : Amount of free Chip memory.
- Fast : Amount of free Fast memory.
- Total: Total free memory.
- RAM : Size of RAM: Disk in Kilobytes.
-
-
-
- To run the program, just click on its icon or run it from the CLI.
- If you want to quit the program, run 'Quit_DST'. That will signal DST
- that you want to quit it. You cannot run more than one copy of DST.
- If you try to do so, it will complain about it and quit.
-
- If the amount of free memory in a device is less that 5% of total
- storage, DST will highlight that device. (Minimum alarm level is 50k).
-
- If the storage in any device drops below 5% during usage, DST will
- bring up a small box that warns you of the fact. Just click into that
- box to get rid of it. This box will come up on the front, regardless
- of what it is.
-
- If a floppy disk has the write-protect tab on, an asterisk (*) will
- appear next to the 'Free' number corresponding to that disk.
-
- Also, if AmigaDOS is currently validating a disk, a 'V' will appear
- next to the 'Free' number corresponding to that disk. If the 'V' appears,
- the info for that disk might not be correct. Be careful. Anyway, you
- should not write to a disk as long as it is validating.
-
-
-
- NOTES:
-
- - DSt will update its display every 2 seconds.
- - The limit for that is 15 devices.
- - This program takes very little processor time. For example,
- with three disks displayed, DSt will only consume less than .3 %
- of processing time at the most. Its memory usage is around 14k.
- - DSt will correctly reflect the size of the WB1.3 Fast File
- System (FFS) hard disk partitions, and any other new disk formats.
- - Since DST uses the WB screen for its output, any window that is
- placed on top of its display will destroy the part of the display
- it is covering. This will be restored at the next update.
- - If the WB screen is closed by any program, DST will keep running
- but will not display its output. It will however still warn you
- if any device triggers the storage alarm.
-
-
- Any comments, suggestions, complaints, etc. should be sent to me on
- Compuserve ID number 75166,2531.
-
-
- This program is placed in the Public Domain. You can do with it
- whatever you want.
-
-
-
- I hope you find this program as useful as I do.
