and installed and available conventional RAM, plus
installed extended memory (if any) and memory configured
as XMS (if any) and EMS (expanded, if any).
smem a - as above, but reports on drive A
Customizing: you can change the default colour using debug. Use the
ATTS program to show available colours for your display
and their hexadecimal codes.

*****************************************************************************
DSPACE : reports on installed hard disk capacity and disk
space available. Shows information on up to 16
drives on one screen if you are using a standard 25 line
screen display, more if you use a screen with a greater
number of lines.
Usage: dspace [d1] [d2]
[d1] is first drive to report on - default is C
[d2] is last drive to report on
Examples:
dspace - lists all available drives starting at C
until the limit of 16 per screen is reached
dspace E - lists all available drives starting at E
until the limit of 16 per screen is reached
dspace E H - lists all available drives starting at E
and ending at H
Customizing: you can change the default colours using debug. Use the
ATTS program to show available colours for your display
and their hexadecimal codes.
debug dspace.com
e 791a vv [vv is hexadecimal code for header colour]
e 791c ww [ww is text colour]
e 791e xx [xx is "space used" colour on meter display]
e 7920 yy [yy is "space left" colour on meter display]
e 7922 zz [zz is "Totals" colour]
w
q
You can also change the default ASCII characters used for showing "space
used" and "space left" on the bar chart. Use the program CHARS to select
characters you wish to use, make a note of their hexadecimal code (e.g.
character ÷ is hexadecimal code f6; character ≈ is hexadecimal f7.
Then use debug as above; the context is:
e 7924 xx [xx is "space used" character]
e 7926 xx [xx is "space left" character]
