Features
DiskUse has been designed to answer the hard disk (or floppy)
user's question, "Which directories are taking up the most space?"
DiskUse is great for making room for new programs, general cleanup
(when you have to perform hard disk housekeeping), or finding and
deleting files. Rather than performing the tedious task of checking
every directory and subdirectory, DiskUse shows you where the bulk
of your files are stored, and it allows you to quickly and easily
find room for new programs, monitor drive usage, keep disks
"uncluttered," and much more!
Use Graphics To "See"
DiskUse displays your hard disk in the form of a graph, so you
can "see" how its being used. It easily shows you how certain
directories relate to each other in percent and in size.
DiskUse internally supports EGA and VGA video modes, but
external drivers are also available to make graphs compatible
for all modes.
Works Great With Floppies Too
DiskUse is a very versatile program. One of the great features
DiskUse includes is the ability to "see" any type of media, such
as hard disks, compressed drives (e.g., Stacker, XTRADrive, MS-
DOS 6.0 compression), and floppy disks.
Easy To Use
DiskUse is very easy to use. DiskUse is run by using command
line options; Simply put, all you have to do is type "DiskUse
[command]". To see your C drive DOS directory, type "DISKUSE
C:\DOS". Easily configure and customize DiskUse in an easy
to use configuration engine with an easy to use windowing
interface. ..and use the built in, high quality, scrolling
viewer to look at DiskUse's reports.
DiskUse is Flexible
DiskUse can send its data to the printer, screen, file, or
delimited text file. Easily load the delimited text into your
favorite database, spreadsheet, or word processor, and create
even more quality DiskUse data. Use the delimited text in the
included Microsoft Access application, Quattro Pro for Windows
spreadsheet, and Quattro Pro for Dos spreadsheet.
Get More for Less
Use the included Microsoft Access application, Quattro Pro for
Windows and Quattro Pro for Dos spreadsheets to create more
quality DiskUse information. The Microsoft Access application
lets you even compare DiskUse usage over different weeks,
months, and even years!
Support
When you register DiskUse, you receive:
A) on-line support through Compuserve E-Mail,
B) support through RelayNet ShareWare (unofficial support
base) message base (Route To Xevious; To: David Pabst),
C) A reduced upgrade price for all major upgrades (All
future versions will be totally registered for you with
your registration code),
D) notification of all future releases, and
E) A disk with the latest version of DiskUse.
Legal Considerations
CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IF YOU DO NOT
AGREE WITH THEM, YOU SHOULD PROMPTLY DELETE THE ENTIRE PROGRAM.
USE OF THIS SOFTWARE INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Direct Software Products and David Pabst are hereby not responsible
for any damage (loss of data, et cetera...) that could be possibly
incurred by the use of DiskUse. Any use of DiskUse indicates your
acceptance of this.
DiskUse is not in the Public Domain nor is it free. It is
ShareWare. ShareWare is a way of distributing software so you can
evaluate the software before purchasing.
Non-Registered users of DiskUse have 31 days to try DiskUse before
removing it from their system or registering. Using DiskUse after
the 31 days is illegal.
DiskUse can not be modified in any respect, for any reason,
including, but not limited to, de-compiling, disassembling, or
reverse engineering. The registration screen and all of the menus,
help files, and start up files must never be altered, removed,
bypassed, or disabled by any means.
You are free to distribute the publicly available shareware version
of DiskUse to others subject to the above restrictions and also the
following:
A) No fee is charged for its use.
B) No re-numeration may be accepted for DiskUse. This does
not apply to bulletin board service, online services,
etc... membership, subscription, or access charges.
C) DiskUse must be distributed in un-altered form, complete
with licensing information, full documentation, and all
accompanying files and programs. The archive must not
be altered in any respect.
D) All Shareware vendors must make sure that the version is
the unregistered shareware evaluation copy. Or request a
free evaluation disk.
Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) may make DiskUse available for
download only if the above conditions are met. The archive
DUSE401.ZIP (or equivalent) may be made available only in complete
form. Refer to the File Listing for a complete listing of all the
files, use this to verify a complete packet. If the contents
appear to be altered or not complete, you may obtain the latest
shareware release of DiskUse for only $5.
Vendors must give a description that treats DiskUse fairly. It
must be an unbiased, objective review. Vendors may not refer to
this software as cheap, gaudy, etc.. Included with DiskUse is
VENDORS.DOC which includes a few sample descriptions.
Upgrading
If you have already registered DiskUse versions 1.0-3.0 you may
upgrade for only $5 (US). To register, fill out the order form
contained at the end of this manual. Purpose
DiskUse is intended to answer the hard disk user's question, "Which
directories are taking up the most space?" To make room for new
programs- and for general cleanup- we have to perform hard disk
housekeeping, deleting unnecessary files, directories, etc...
Rather than laboriously checking every directory and subdirectory,
knowing where the bulk of the files are stored can focus efforts
where the largest benefits will be realized.
DiskUse shows the utilization, in bytes and percent of total, of
all files and subdirectories at any user-specified directory level.
Subdirectory totals include ALL subdirectories and sub-
subdirectories below them. Note that the percent utilization is a
percent of the *used* space, and not of the entire disk.
'DiskUse C:\' will show you (a) the cumulative sizes of all normal
files in the root directory, and (b) the effective size of each
subdirectory. The total will be the total bytes utilized reported
by utilities such as CHKDSK. If one of the subdirectories is, for
example, DOS, then 'DiskUse C:\DOS' will show you which
subdirectories of C:\DOS are largest.
Plus, you can even keep records by using the export functions
included with DiskUse 4.01. DiskUse makes it possible to print to
your printer directly, export the data to a DOS text file, and
finally, you can export data into DELIMITED TEXT. Delimited text
makes it possible for you to load DiskUse data into the included
Microsoft Access application (DISKUSE.MDB), Quattro Pro for Windows
and Dos spreadsheets, and even your own applications.

There are some files that are not included with DiskUse, but are
required for some computers. Please request these files at one of
the support sites listed at the end of this instruction manual.
Graphics are handled through an internal CGA\EGA\VGA\Hercules
driver, should your computer not support these modes, you will need
to request a new graphics driver.
Installation
Installing DiskUse 4.01 is a simple process. Follow these steps
closely. If you cannot get DiskUse to work, contact DSP Software at
any one of our support boards.
Follow these steps:
1) Go to the drive you want to place DiskUse.
2) Type: CD\
3) TYPE: MD\DISKUSE
4) Copy all the DiskUse files to the directory you
just made in step #3.
5) Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT PATH statement to
contain [DRIVE]\DIRECTORY.
6) Type: DISKUSE /C to configure, (maybe nothing
needs changing, but do this anyway).
(turn to page 10 for information on configuring
DiskUse)
If you have any trouble, any at all, contact Direct Software
Products (DSP Software).
Configuring DiskUse
The configuration system is invoked by typing DISKUSE /C. The
configuration system is in an easy to use windowing interface.
To change an option, look at the select option window, the colored
letters are options. To change an option, type the highlighted
letter of the item.
You may not have to change any of the default settings (you might
not even require a configuration file; DiskUse can run without
one). If you make any changes that you would like to keep, make
sure you exit by pressing ESCAPE; which saves the settings as you
exit.
If you would like to restore the default settings, delete
DISKUSE.CFG, and DiskUse will revert. Place DISKUSE.CFG in any
directory that is in the PATH statement.
Commands
N -- Registree's Name
Enter your name after you register. This is needed as part of the
mathematical "key" to register your copy of DiskUse. To order
DiskUse, print ORDER.DOC, or use the form at the end of this
manual.
C -- Registration Code
Enter the code that you are sent after you register. This will
personalize your copy of DiskUse by removing all the registration
screens, and branding DiskUse with your name. Make sure you enter
your registration name.
D -- Graphics Driver
The graphics driver is the "control" that tells your video board
what to do. To display the graphics in DiskUse you must set this
with a number representing a driver. You should set the graphics
driver to 0 for most purposes. 0 means autodetect, and will work
with most computers.
M -- Graphics Mode
The graphics mode is the mode the driver and video board are in.
This works hand-in-hand with the Graphics Driver. Set to 0 for
autodetect.
L -- Delimited Text File
Set the this to the name of the file that you would like your
delimited text exported.
O -- Output Text File
Set this to the name of the text file you would like the tabular
information exported.
ESC -- Exit and Save
To exit the configuration system, and save the data you have
entered; press the ESCAPE key.
A -- Exit without saving (Abort)
Press A (for abort), to exit the configuration system without
saving.
F1 -- Help
Press F1 to view DISKUSE.DOC.
Using DiskUse
To make DiskUse do something, you must use a command line option.
A command line option is a switch you throw when you want to
execute a command. To "throw a switch" in diskuse you have to type
DiskUse, then a slash (/), and finally a command. For instance,
you buy a game, and if you wanted to play it with a joystick; you
might type GAME.EXE /J. GAME.EXE being the game program, and /J
being the "switch" to turn the joystick on.
That's how DiskUse works. To make life simpler you might want to
write a batch file that would run DiskUse your way every time.
For instance make a batch DUSE.BAT. In it put DISKUSE /E C:\.
Refer to the following command list (page 10) for a full
descriptive list of all the commands DiskUse 4.01 has to offer. If
you forget what command you need, all you have to do is type
DISKUSE /? for a complete listing.
Some options, like the configuration system have their own
commands, refer to the Table of Contents to locate a descriptive
list.Command List
/C -- Configure DiskUse
Takes you into the DiskUse configuration system. How to use, and
the list of commands to the configuration system are on page 8.
/H,/? -- Help\Command List
Lists all the commands for DISKUSE. This is very handy in case
you forget a command.
/L,/T -- Tabular\Text Display Of Disk
This displays only the text breakdown of the disk you are viewing.
Use this if you are only trying to get a quick "what's going on,"
or if you don't have any graphics capabilities in your computer.
/G -- Display Only The Bar Chart\Graph
You need a graphics adapter for this to work. DiskUse internally
supports many modes; for others contact Direct Software Products.
If your system cannot support graphics, use the /L or /T commands.
/B -- Display Both Tabular and Graphic Reports (Default)
This command will force DiskUse to display the Tabular\Text display
and the Bar Chart\Graph report. This command is a default setting,
and you do not need to use this.
/U -- Output Tabular (text) information to DOS Text File
This option will output what you usually see while viewing the
tabular information to a text file. To define the save file name,
go into the configuration system, and use option O.
/E -- Output Tabular (text) information in Delimited format
Output the text information into a DOS text file in Delimited Text
form. The information is automatically stored in the file
DELIM.TXT (unless you change the default file name in the
configuration menu) (any information previously stored in that file
will be overwritten). This file can be imported into popular
database, spreadsheet, word processing, and desk top publishing
programs. Use delimited text with the powerful (and included)
Microsoft Access Application, and\or Quattro Pro spreadsheets
(refer to the appendices for information on both).
/R -- Registration Information
Displays information on registering DiskUse. Addresses, prices,
conditions, et cetera.
How to Use the Scrolling Text Viewer
A scrolling text viewer displays the tabular (text) information
that DiskUse creates. As long as you use the /T, /L, or /B command
line options, you will be faced with using the text viewer.
The scrolling text viewer is incredibly easy to use. The scrolling
viewer makes it possible for you to see what you want to see.
Some of the following commands may not work if you have reached any
of the bounds (beginning, end) of the viewed file. When this
happens you will hear a beep, indicating this.
Note: If your keyboard only has a numeric keypad, please turn num-
lock off to insure that the viewer will work properly.

Appendix A -- Making the most out of DiskUse
To make the most out of DiskUse, you really have to use the
delimited text export capability (option /E). You can take the
information that DiskUse creates, and bring it into your favorite
application (that supports the import of delimited text). Many
databases, spreadsheets, word processors, and desk top publishers
support this form of import. Use the import functions in them to
compare one run of DiskUse to another; if you use DiskUse weekly,
then load the delimited text into your database, and compare how
your disk usage changes from week to week. DiskUse will
automatically export delimited text to a standard DOS ASCII file,
named DELIM.TXT - or the file name you entered in the configuration
system as the delimited text file.
Make sure, if you have Microsoft Access, you try the included
Microsoft Access application (refer to Appendix B), under the
filename DISKUSE.MDB. This application requires Microsoft Access
1.0 or 1.1.
If you don't have Microsoft Access, please use the included Quattro
Pro for Dos, and the included Quattro Pro for Windows spreadsheets
to create graphs, et cetera. These included spreadsheets are
basically blank forms, with instructions, and pre-defined graphs.
Just follow the instructions in the spreadsheets, and you'll be
ready to work.
Appendix B -- DISKUSE.MDB, the included Microsoft Access Database
Use Microsoft Access to give you more angles on the data DiskUse
creates. Graph it, store it, examine it. Do whatever you think
will help you see how your drives are being used! Using Microsoft
Access can greatly increase the wealth of quality DiskUse
information.
DiskUse Manager, the included Microsoft Access Application,
requires Microsoft Access 1.0 or 1.1. The file name of the
database is DISKUSE.MDB.
You must run DiskUse once, with option /E, so it can export into
Delimited text. DiskUse will automatically export to the file name
DELIM.TXT (or file name you entered under delimited text file in
the configuration menu), and it will be placed in the current
directory. Remember what directory you left DELIM.TXT (or file name
you entered under delimited text file in the configuration menu),
it will help you later when you set the Microsoft Access
application up.
DiskUse comes with a fully ready to use Microsoft Access
application. To run it, go to File Manager, and double click on
the file DISKUSE.MDB. Microsoft Access will load, and
automatically execute the application.
The DiskUse manager works with buttons. Just move the mouse cursor
to the button you want to press, and click the mouse. But, before
you want to do anything, get to the opening screen of the DiskUse
Manager (where it says, in fancy writing, DiskUse 4.01...). There
are two buttons below the text, click the one with the red writing
that says: Important Message. Read the message, then click the
button saying: Open Database Container. On the newly opened
window, on the left hand side, click the button that says Macro.
Click once on the macro named: Import; then on the top of this
window, click on design. Click on the word TransferText. Now on
the bottom of window, click on the File Name prompt (It should read
X:\PASCAL\DELIM.TXT). You have to change this to a directory where
you will put DELIM.TXT (or file name you entered under delimited
text file in the configuration menu). For instance, change it to
C:\DOS\DELIM.TXT, if that is where you plan to place the export
file. Then click on the close button (upper left hand corner of
window). It will ask you if you would like to save, press the Yes
button.
Now, close the database DISKUSE. Now, open the database DISKUSE.
The rest is pretty self-explanatory folks!
Please, feel free to make modifications to this database. This
database is more of a framework of an application so it would be
easier for you to improve the database. Please, if you make any
improvements to the database, please send them my way. Appendix C -- How to Use the Quattro Pro Spreadsheets
Use Quattro Pro (for Windows and Dos) to give you more angles on
the data DiskUse creates. Graph it, store it, examine it. Do
whatever you think will help you see how your drives are being
used! Using Quattro Pro can greatly increase the wealth of quality
DiskUse information you get.
DiskUse can export to Delimited text which can be imported into
many different programs including spreadsheets, databases, word
processors, and desk top publishers.
You can load this delimited text into included Quattro Pro for
Windows and Quattro Pro for Dos spreadsheets. These spreadsheets
are basically empty forms, with predefined graphs, and
instructions. All you have to do is run DISKUSE with the /E
option. DiskUse will export to the filename DELIM.TXT(or file name
you entered under delimited text file in the configuration menu).
Now, run Quattro Pro, and load the spreadsheet.
Follow the directions in the spreadsheet on how to import
DELIM.TXT(or file name you entered under delimited text file in the
configuration menu).
