DOS V3+(V5+) STATDISK V1.0 (STDISK.BAT) (c) 1993 Andrew Malek/EXCEL Progs
COMMAND STRUCTURE:
C:\>STDISK (-?)
C:\>STDISK (X:) (-D)
C:\>STDISK -L (-D) (-S) (-E) (-N filename)
EXPLANATION:
StatDisk V1.0 is a program which will display the following data
about any drive on your system.
Size in K & Megs of the specified drive,
Size in K & Megs of drive room used, percentage used,
Size in K & Megs of drive room free, precentage free,
COMMAND PARAMETERS:
-? Gives the user a help screen, displaying and explaining the optional
command line parameters.
X: Signifies the drive from which the user wishes to obtain stastics.
Any vaild drive letter followed by a colon should work. Be sure that
the drive specified exists on your system, else StatDisk will halt
with an error.
-D Allows StatDisk to display the number of directories on the specified
drive, including the main directory. This may take a few seconds,
depending on the speed of the drive and the number of directories.
-L Displays a larger screen, which includes the main drive stats, the
StatDisk logo, and a bargraph showing graphically the free and used
drive room.
COMMANDS TO BE USED ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH '-L'.
-S Allows the user to view the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS file in
a scrolling window at the bottom-left corner of the screen.
-E Allows the user to edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
StatDisk will load an external editor, by default the Dos V5+
EDIT command.
-N name StatDisk will use the filename specified by the user in the command
line instead of the default editor. Make sure the command to start
the editor is correct.
INSIDE INSTRUCTIONS, OPERABLE WITH THE RESPECTIVE PARAMETERS SET:
(X), {ESC} Exits StatDisk, returning you to the command prompt.
(1), {F1} Allows the user to view the memory breakdown (Dos
V5+) of your system in the bottom-left corner
scrolling window. This feature is similar to
entering the command 'MEM /C' at the DOS command
line.
(2), {F2} Allows the user to view the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the
bottom-left corner scrolling window.
(3), {F3} Allows the user to view the CONFIG.SYS file in the
bottom-left corner scrolling window.

(D), {CURSOR DOWN} Pages down in the scrolling window.
(L), {CURSOR LEFT} Screens left in the scrolling window.
(R), {CURSOR RIGHT} Screens right in the scrolling window.
(E) Allows the user to edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT or the
CONFIG.SYS file using the editor specified at
execution or the default DOS EDIT.
OTHER:
StatDisk V1.0 will only display the # of directories or the memory
breakdown (DOS V5+) properly if you have at least several K free on the 'C'
hard drive (in order to hold the TR.DAT and MEM.FIL temporary files).
REVISION HISTORY:
StatDisk V0.5, First Public Version, original disk statistic routines
created, directory number routine created.
StatDisk V0.7, Made '# of directories' optional '-D' parameter,
cleaned colors on stat screen, added larger screen 2 {'-L' parameter}, bar
graph routine for free/used 'C' HD room, waits for keypress to continue,
clears screen upon exit.
StatDisk V1.0, Lightened the Magenta colors on screen two, allowed
the user to obtain statistics from any drive, added memory view, AUTOEXEC.BAT
view, CONFIG.SYS view, shells to Dos EDIT, shells to editor specified on
command line, will display a help screen explaining command line parameters.
