- FreeSpace
-
- Graphically displays free space for each mounted volume
- Requires Amiga Release 2 (or greater)

- Distribution:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- This program is Freeware. You may freely distribute it, and charge only a
- small fee to cover expenses. It must remain unmodified, and accompanied by
- this doc file (and optionally the source code).
-
- Fred Fish is explicitly given permission to place this program on his fine
- disk collection. Walnut Creek are also allowed to use it on their Aminet
- CD-ROM.
-
- As with any free software, you use FreeSpace entirely at your own risk. I
- won't be held responsible if your Amiga starts spouting smoke because of it!
-
-
- Usage:
- ~~~~~~
-
- Just double-click on it. That's all! FreeSpace will sort a list of all your
- mounted volumes into alphabetical order (including hard drive partitions,
- floppy disks, the RAM disk, etc.), and display them to you in a small window,
- along with usage statistics, and a "fuel gauge" showing how full that volume
- is. FreeSpace is totally font-sensitive, and will respect your default
- Screen font.
-
- FreeSpace understands three ToolTypes:
-
- LEFT = left edge of window
- TOP = top edge of window
- PEN = pen colour to use for the fuel gauge (see your Palette preferences)
-
- If you run FreeSpace from the Shell, it will not read in these ToolTypes.
- Maybe in a later version...
-
- Pressing Help when FreeSpace is running will give you a little bit of
- information. The only other action possible is clicking the close gadget.
- Currently FreeSpace does not update its window when data is written to any of
- the volumes.
-
- If FreeSpace encounters a problem (can't open the V37 libraries, can't
- allocate enough memory, etc.) it will just silently abort, without giving an
- error message.
-
- Also I haven't got around to designing an original icon yet. Any budding
- artists out there...?
