-
- The Swap dataset size monitor need to know where the swap dataset (SWAPPER.DAT)
- is located on your computer.
-
- When the Swap dataset size monitor is started, it expects to receive a
- parameter telling which drive your computer was booted from.
-
- If no parameter is received, the monitor asumes the computer was booted from
- drive C.
-
- Using this information, the monitor scans CONFIG.SYS, which is located in the
- root of the boot drive.
-
- CONFIG.SYS contains the command SWAPPATH, which points to the directory where
- the swap dataset is located.
-
- So, type the boot drive letter as the first and only parameter when adding this
- program to the CB Tools folder.

-
- If you are monitoring the A: and/or B: drive while no diskette is inserted in
- the drive, this will happen:
-
- o If the AUTOFAIL=YES command isn't included, the system will prompt you
- whenever the Disk freespace monitor refreshes the window.
-
- The prompt will include options to retry, abort or ignore the error.
-
- o If the AUTOFAIL=YES command is included, the Disk freespace monitor will
- report Drive not ready!.
-
- However, including the AUTOFAIL=YES command will have effect on your entire
- system. All other programs have to be able to detect when a drive isn't ready.
- Most program do have the ability to detect the Not ready responce from the
- diskette drives!
-

- decrease its size from the top or bottom.
-
- If the lower left corner of the monitor window is placed somewhere on the
- bottom half of the workplace, the bottom edge of the window will be fixed and
- the monitor window will stretch upwards as drives are added and collapse
- downwards as drives are removed.
-
- If the lower left corner of the monitor window is placed somewhere on the top
- half of the workplace, the top edge of the window will be fixed and the monitor
- window will stretch downwards as drives are added and collapse upwards as
- drives are removed.

- This enables you to put the Disk freespace monitor window along the top or
- bottom of your workplace at your choise.
