It's great for use with multi-drive systems, networks, and large systems! The DRIV_MAN display includes: DRIVE DATA SUMMARY with capacity, used and free for each available/selected drive, DRIVE DATA GRAPH with the same data for each drive, TOTAL DISK SUMMARY and GRAPH, and INDIVIDUAL DRIVE DATA displaying full information on one drive at a time. Program options include: Toggle the sort order for the DRIVE DATA SUMMARY and GRAPH from six selections, selectable/editable display DRIVE RANGE, disk storage of the DISK DRIVE SUMMARY display, auto run, and the ability to run a file man- ager, FILE_MAN, from within the program. Major Features * SINGLE SCREEN data display of all selected/available disk drives. * Display SECTIONS include: - DRIVE DATA SUMMARY for all selected/available disk drives - A to Z - with capacity(Mb), used amount(Mb/Kb)/percent and free amount(Mb/Kb). - DRIVE DATA GRAPH with a column(Mb/Kb or %) for each drive depicting capac- ity, used and free. - TOTAL DISK SUMMARY(bytes) with capacity, used amount/percent, and free amount/percent. - TOTAL DISK GRAPH with used percent and free percent. - INDIVIDUAL DRIVE DATA(bytes) of capacity, used amount/percent, and free amount/percent. Drives may be scrolled through the full range of select- ed/available. * Display DRIVE DATA SUMMARY/GRAPH in any of six sorted orders. * Selectable disk DRIVE RANGE - command line or data entry menu. * Detects monitor type and sets colors accordingly. * Display colors are coordinated to highlight the various types of data. * Display data may be stored/appended to a disk file for archiving, later com- parison, etc. * May be run in automatic mode, such as in a batch file that runs as the first job of the day, to display and save the drive data. * FILE_MAN, a file manager shareware utility, may be run directly from DRIV_MAN. * Display additional allocation information for each drive. * Context sensitive help is available for all actions. * Registered users may suppress the shareware registration reminder message displays and receive a printed/bound manual along with the ability set/change the display colors and position the various display sections using a configu- ration file.. System Requirements IBM PC, XT, AT or true compatibles operating with PC/MS-DOS, version 3.0 or later. It supports both NETBIOS networks and "huge" hard disk drives formatted for more than 32MB. The program will determine what type of display monitor is available and adjust itself accordingly. 1 INTRODUCTION DRIV_MAN Version 1.2 Manual Format This manual is divided into several introductory chapters followed by chapters for operating DRIV_MAN. The format of these chapters and the information pre- sented therein has been standardized using the following conventions. Page layout - Each page has a header detailing the chapter and the program ver- sion covered. A footer displays the manual page number. Brackets and parentheses - Brackets, [...], are used in the manual and in the help screens to specify what should be entered in response to the current prompt. If a character string is to be entered, the type of character is noted, such as ALPHA, NUMERIC, ANY, etc. Parentheses, (..), are used for comments. Computer key conventions - Keys specified in the manual text that are not in entry brackets are shown as reversed, such as ESCAPE . All key references are in capital letters for clarity. Action steps - Some procedures may require selection from a menu of options, inputting data or following a sequence of steps. Most manual sections will first give an overview of the function or task under discussion and then detail the various action operating procedures. In order to make this manual easier to use a symbol, -> , marks the beginning of each of these action operating procedures. ˛˛˛˛_MAN programs - The general group of shareware programs by MicroMetric is referred to by the name ˛˛˛˛_MAN. It may also be used in reference to a specific program in that group. Shareware distributed documentation manual - The documentation file included on the shareware distribution diskette contains the same information as the printed and bound manual, supplied as part of registration, with two exceptions, the result of the word processor, formatting, and printer used. The first is that all of the control display characters (ASCII 1-31) and the reverse print key- board codes are NOT shown properly. Finally, bolding, underlining, and special symbols are NOT present. Shareware DRIV_MAN is being distributed as SHAREWARE. The SHAREWARE concept allows users to examine a program on a trial basis, at no (or minimal) charge, before pur- chasing it. In addition, by decreasing marketing costs, professional quality software may be distributed for a fraction of the cost of a comparable commer- cial product. Regardless of whether you register the program, please help dis- tribute DRIV_MAN by sharing unmodified copies of it and its files with others. You are hereby granted the right to use the DRIV_MAN program for a thirty (30) day evaluation period. If you find DRIV_MAN of value, and continue to use it after this evaluation period, YOU MUST REGISTER YOUR PROGRAM USE. This will provide you with: 2 DRIV_MAN Version 1.2 INTRODUCTION * A 7" x 8 1/2" printed and bound manual. * DRIV_MAN phone or mail support for one year. * Notification of the next DRIV_MAN release. * Ability to suppress the shareware registration reminder message displayed at the end of the program. * Ability to use a configuration file to specify the display colors and position of data areas along with other program setup parameters. * An installation/update/registration branding program. * Sincere thanks for your support of the SHAREWARE concept.

(800) 929-0184 For ease in program registration, a registration order form may be printed at the program exit or there is a quick registration form that is available with the program F1 help key. This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Profession- als (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principal works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427, send a CompuServe message via easyplex to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536, or by FAX to the ASP FAX number: (616) 788-2765. In communications with the Ombudsman please include a telephone number and/or FAX if available. 3 INTRODUCTION DRIV_MAN Version 1.2 4 INSTALLING THE SYSTEM Installation on Non-Path Referenced Directories If the DRIV_MAN files are not located on PATH referenced directories, then, when executing DRIV_MAN, either: 1. The drive-directory on which they are located must be made the current one, or 2. The drive-directory on which they are located must be specified on the command line. See the chapter "Running DRIV_MAN" for more complete details on operation if the files are not located on path directories. From a Diskette Vendor If the DRIV_MAN program has been obtained from a diskette vendor, you should follow any of their instruction on unpacking/installing the programs (if indeed they have separate instructions.) The program, and its files, can be supplied as a self extracting file whose name is "DMANvvv.EXE" (vvv is the version, such as "DMAN100"). This file should first be copied to a directory on your hard disk. This direc- tory may be a new one, such as one named "DRIV", and created specifically for DRIV_MAN, or a current one, such as "UTILITY", that has other programs/files. For information on creating a separate directory, see your DOS manual. Once the file is copied to the desired hard disk directory, at the DOS prompt change to this drive directory, and then type the EXE file name (such as "DMAN100") and press ENTER . This will unpack all of the DRIV_MAN files. From a BBS If the DRIV_MAN file was downloaded from a Bulletin Board, it should first be copied to a directory as defined above, and then unpacked, using whatever pro- gram is specified by the Bulletin Board. It is normally distributed with a name of "DMANvvv.ZIP" (vvv is the version) or "DMANvv.ZIP" and requires the program PKUNZIP, version 2, to unpack the files. Registered Version Registered users should use the program "INSTALL", that is supplied upon regis- tration. This program will create a registration file which will, in turn, sup- press the shareware registration reminders. If the system is already installed, and only "BRANDING" the system with the registration information is desired, you can run the program "DRIV_MAN", and when exiting, select the "BRAND" option by pressing F4 . -> To install DRIV_MAN on your hard disk, or to upgrade to a new release, follow the steps detailed below: 1. Place the DRIV_MAN distribution diskette in your floppy diskette drive. 5 INSTALLING THE SYSTEM DRIV_MAN Version 1.2 2. At the DOS prompt, change to the drive in which the distribution diskette is located. For example, if the diskette was placed in drive A, type A : and press ENTER . 3. Type I N S T A L L and press ENTER . The installation program will then be loaded, and its display should be as shown below. ’Õµ INSTallation MANagement Program ΔÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕµ Started atÕ>12-31-99 08:00 ΔÕ∏ ≥∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞≥ ≥∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞≥ ≥∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞≥ ≥∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞≥ ≥∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞≥ ≥∞ ∞∞‹ ∞∞‹ ∞∞‹∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞‹∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞‹ ∞∞‹ ∞∞‹ ∞∞‹ ∞∞‹ ∞∞‹∞≥ ≥∞ Ä ∞∞€ ∞∞∞‹ ∞∞€∞∞€ﬂﬂﬂﬂﬂﬂ ﬂﬂ∞∞€ﬂﬂﬂ ∞∞∞‹ ∞∞∞€ ∞∞∞∞‹ ∞∞∞‹ ∞∞€∞≥ ≥∞ ⁄≈ø ∞∞€ ∞∞€∞∞‹∞∞€∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞‹ ∞∞€ ∞∞∞€ ∞∞∞€ ∞∞€ﬂ∞∞‹ ∞∞€∞∞‹∞∞€∞≥ ≥∞ ⁄¡ø ∞∞€ ∞∞€ ﬂ∞∞∞€ ﬂﬂﬂﬂﬂ∞∞€ ∞∞€ ∞∞€∞∞‹∞∞€ ∞∞∞∞∞∞€ ∞∞€ ﬂ∞∞∞€∞≥ ≥∞Õ¡Õ¡Õ∞∞€ ∞∞€ ∞∞€∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞€ ∞∞€ ∞∞∞∞∞∞‹ ∞∞€∞∞€∞∞€∞∞€ﬂﬂﬂ∞∞‹∞∞€ ∞∞€∞≥ ≥∞ ﬂﬂ ﬂﬂ ﬂﬂ ﬂﬂﬂﬂﬂﬂﬂﬂ ﬂﬂ ﬂﬂﬂﬂﬂﬂ ﬂﬂ ﬂﬂ ﬂﬂ ﬂﬂ ﬂﬂ ﬂﬂ ﬂﬂ∞≥ ‘µ INST_MAN Version 4.20 Copyright 1990-94 MicroMetric, All Rights Reserved Δæ F1>Help≥ESC>Exit≥<Ÿ/[char]>Select≥ HomeEnd≥ NOTE Context sensitive help is available from this point on in the in- stallation program on, by pressing the F1 key.

Each logical drive's data is displayed in a single column, from A-Z. The drive's CAPACITY is denoted by the display of two drive letters. The lower bar depicts the portion of the drive currently utilized and the upper bar is for that amount which is free. On color monitors, the utilized and free bars are displayed in different colors. The example above shows Drive C has a CAPACITY between 27 and 34 Megabytes(Mb) and a UTILIZATION between 13 and 20 Mb. Drive M has both figures - CAPACITY and UTILIZATION - between 0 and 6 Mb. The DRIVE DATA GRAPH vertical axis is normally scaled in capacity (Kb/Mb). The scale is changed to percentage (%) when the data is sorted in any percentage order. By default, the DRIVE DATA SUMMARY and GRAPH are initially displayed in Drive Letter sort order. The current display order data is highlighted and is also shown on the bottom help line. There are also five other sort orders that they may be displayed in. The available display sort orders are: Drive Letter Capacity Utilization % Utilization Free % Free (reverse of % Utilization) -> To toggle the DRIVE DATA GRAPH and SUMMARY display sort order, press either 19 MAIN DISPLAY INFORMATION DRIV_MAN Version 1.2 the LEFTARROW or RIGHTARROW keys.

The data columns displayed are: Logical disk DRive letter. Drive Capacity, rounded to the nearest Megabyte. Drive Used Storage, Kilobytes(k) or Megabytes(m), rounded to the nearest tenth. Drive Used Storage, rounded to the nearest Percent(%). Drive Free Storage, Kilobytes(k) or Megabytes(m), rounded to the nearest tenth. The information for each logical drive is normally separated by spaces for disk devices, either hard of floppy. A separator of periods, '.', is used for ram disk devices and a separator of an underscore, '_', for network devices. See the previous section, "DRIVE DATA GRAPH", for information on the sort order of the DRIVE DATA SUMMARY.

Using this feature, a snapshot of the current disk status may be saved before cleaning up a logical drive/drives and then another snapshot saved afterward, for comparison. Another use is to take Disk Summary snapshots daily, weekly, or monthly to see how the system's disk status is changing over time. -> To store the current Disk Summary Data screen display, press F3 . The screen display, except for the bottom help line, will be stored in a file named "DRIVE_MAN.DAT", and a completion message displayed. If this file already exists, on the drive-directory on which the program is located, the current data will be APPENDED to it. If the file does not exist, it will be CREATED on the same drive-directory as the program. ⁄ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒø ≥ ⁄ƒ¥ MESSAGE √ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒø ≥ ≥ ≥ Screen data appended to DRIV_MAN.DAT ≥€ ≥ ≥ ¿ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒŸ€ ≥ ≥ €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€ ≥ ¿ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒŸ -> To continue with program execution, press any key. 25 STORING THE DISPLAY DATA DRIV_MAN Version 1.2 26 RUNNING A FILE MANAGER DRIV_MAN has the capability of "shelling" out to DOS and running another pro- gram. This is to allow a file manager to be run in conjunction with DRIV_MAN. FILE_MAN, another shareware program from MicroMetric, is a menu driven file manager utility. It, or another file manager, may be run directly from DRIV_MAN to copy, move, delete files or perform other file maintenance functions. -> To run FILE_MAN, first select the desired drive by pressing it's letter, and then press F4 . If the file manager program requested is present, DRIV_MAN first changes the current drive to that displayed in the INDIVIDUAL DRIVE DATA section, and then loads the file manager. Upon its completion, control is returned to DRIV_MAN. If the file manager program requested is not present, a message such as that shown below is displayed. ⁄ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒø ≥ ⁄ƒ¥ MESSAGE √ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒø ≥ ≥ ≥ FILE_MAN.COM not present ≥€ ≥ ≥ ¿ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒŸ€ ≥ ≥ €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€ ≥ ¿ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒŸ NOTE Registered users may change the name of the desired file manager by use of the configuration file. See the next chapter for detailed informa- tion. 27 RUNNING A FILE MANAGER DRIV_MAN Version 1.2 28 EXTENDED FILE INFORMATION The normal drive information is obtained through the DOS software interrupt 21H, Function 36H, "Get Drive Allocation Information". Additional information may also be obtained from Function 44H, Subfunction 0DH, Minor Subfunction 60H, "IOCTL: Generic I/O Control for Block Devices, Get Device Parameters". Only a limited set of this information can and is presented on the SINGLE SCREEN infor- mation. However, all of the data can be displayed, one drive at a time, if de- sired. -> To display EXTENDED FILE INFORMATION for all displayed drives, press F10 . EXTENDED FILE INFORMATION for the first drive will be shown, as seen below. The first six pieces of data are obtained with the "Get Drive Allocation" interrupt. NOTE For Novell networks, a problem exists in that drives may be format- ted with more than 65,536 clusters/drive. To date, we have not been able to find a DOS function that will determine the correct number of clusters per drive. Therefore, for these drives, the reported capacity will be incorrect. This problem does not occur with drives partitioned with the DOS program FDISK. The last two, denoted by stars, '*', are from the "IOCTL" interrupt. NOTE The starred Sectors/drive and the calculated Capacity normally in- clude disk space not available and marked as "bad sectors". Drive block devices that are non-disk, such as "RAM DRIVES", are so marked. Network drives, that are not accessible by the "IOCTL" interrupt, are also so marked. ⁄ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒø ≥ ’Õµ Drive C Extended Information ΔÕ∏ ≥ ≥ ≥ Sectors/cluster 4 ≥€ ≥ ≥ ≥ Avail. clusters 8,149 ≥€ ≥ ≥ ≥ Bytes/sector 512 ≥€ ≥ ≥ ≥ Cluster/drive 16,324 ≥€ ≥ ≥ ≥ Capacity 33,431,552 ≥€ ≥ ≥ ≥ Free 16,689,152 ≥€ ≥ ≥ ≥ Sectors/drive* 65,457 ≥€ ≥ ≥ ≥ Capacity* 33,513,984 ≥€ ≥ ≥ ‘ÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕæ€ ≥ ≥ €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€ ≥ ¿ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒŸ -> To display the next drive's EXTENDED FILE INFORMATION, press ENTER . -> To cancel the display of EXTENDED FILE INFORMATION and return to the Main Display, press ESCAPE . 29 EXTENDED FILE INFORMATION DRIV_MAN Version 1.2 30 SHAREWARE REGISTRATION REMINDER SCREEN If your copy of DRIV_MAN is unregistered, a shareware registration reminder screen is displayed at the program exit.

The optional DRIV_MAN configuration file contains all of the display color and position variables. These variables are initially set to the program defaults. They may be edited by use of any ASCII editor/word processor. All DRIV_MAN CONFIGURATION FILES are ASCII files and have the name "DRIV_MAN". The default CONFIGURATION FILE has an extension of ".CFG". It may be edited by any word processor, using the word processor's option for editing and saving unformatted files. Additional CONFIGURATION files may be created and used by DRIV_MAN. For the procedure of using a CONFIGURATION FILE with an extension other than ".CFG", see the chapter "RUNNING DRIV_MAN". -> To change a default value in the CONFIGURATION FILE, edit the parameter as desired. Any ASCII character may be used in a parameter string EXCEPT for carriage return (13). All characters are entered using their ASCII codes. (Hold the ALTERNATE key down and enter the ASCII code using the numeric keypad only.) To comment out a parameter, add a '*' at the beginning of its line. NOTE The format of the DRIV_MAN parameters is: [parameter #]:{description}{max. length}=[value] Care should be taken in relocating the various display sections. There are three types of location changes that can be made: 1. INDIVIDUAL DRIVE DATA on the top of the display, rather than on the bot- tom. 2. DRIVE DATA GRAPH on the right of the display, rather than on the left. 3. DRIVE DATA SUMMARY, TOTAL DISK SUMMARY, and TOTAL DISK GRAPH may be rear- ranged within their display space. 33 USING THE CONFIGURATION FILE DRIV_MAN Version 1.2 34 DRIV_MAN FILES DRIV_MAN is normally distributed as compressed archives consisting of the fol- lowing files (these files are included in the compressed file DMANvvv, where vvv is the version): Files required for DRIV_MAN operation: DRIV_MAN.EXE . .
