- Copyright 1990 Samuel H. Smith
- All rights reserved.
-
- This program is a resident (TSR) utility that monitors disk activity and
- keeps a running log of the last 50 disk errors. The Disk Error Monitor
- (DERMON) also catches disk errors that are sliently retried and
- "corrected" by DOS.
-
- Once resident, DERMON uses about 900 bytes of RAM.
-
- Usage:
- DERMON/I ;install DERMON in memory.
-
- DERMON/U ;un-install, remove DERMON from memory.
-
- DERMON/C ;display disk error counters.
-
- DERMON/Z ;reset error counters to zero.
-
- The DERMON program will take over interrupt 13H and cannot detect errors
- intercepted by earlier loaded TSR programs. You can load this program
- in any position in your AUTOEXEC, but you will get the best results when
- it is loaded first.
-
- Under most networks you can load DERMON either before or after the
- SERVER is loaded.

- Why SourceWare?
- ---------------
- Why do I offer source code? Why isn't the donation manditory? The
- value of good software should be self-evident. The source code is
- the key to complete understanding of a program. You can read it to
- find out how things are done. You can also change it to suit your
- needs, so long as you do not distribute the modified version without
- my consent.
