What can you do with Disktective?

Examples:
1 With this program you can find out what is eating up your precious disk-space by showing you the distribution of the occupied space.
2 When you want to back up a complete directory structure on a disk or tape of limited size or send it through a network, you need to know the size and distribution of the structure. If it is too large, you can take appropriate actions (like removing certain portions which are less useful).
Disktective can calculate the REAL size of a directory or disk. That is INCLUDING the sum of the bytes residing in every file, subdirectory, subsubdirectory, etc.
On demand, a REPORT will be created, containing the complete directory structure and distribution including all REAL sizes, in an expandable tree view. 


Installing Disktective.

The following files are part of this package:
Disktective.exe
Help.txt
Readme.txt
Simply copy the files into a directory of your choice on your hard-disk. 
However, it does not matter whether the disk is write-protected or not, so you can also run it from a CD-rom or a floppy.
