- FREE.COM is a small machine language routine that reports the free
- space on a given disk. Without any parameters it displays the space on
- the default disk, and with parameters it displays the space on the
- disks specified. A non-drivspec parameter will cause FREE to exit,
- ignoring the rest of the command line.
-
- Examples:
-
- A>free
-
- Drive A: xxxxx bytes free
-
- A>free a: b:
-
- Drive A: xxxxx bytes free
- Drive B: xxxxx bytes free
-
- A>free a: b: c:
-
- Drive A: xxxxx bytes free
- Drive B: xxxxx bytes free
- Drive C: invalid (unless you happen to have a drive c:)
-
- A>free a: hi! b:
-
- Drive A: xxxxx bytes free
-
- A>free foobar

- This routine is useful in checking the disk space on multiple drives
- or when you don't feel like sitting through a DIR or CHKDSK. When put
- on a RAMDISK, this utility is very helpful as it will act almost as
- fast as an internal command.
-
- There are a few useful routines in the assembler listing such as
- convert doubleword to decimal and parse DOS command line.
