- DSPACE40.ZIP
-
- Zipped with PKZIP 2.04c
-
- Package date: January 25th, 1993
-
- Note: this package contains the following files:
-
- DSPACE.COM version 4.0
- SMEM.COM version 5.0
- ATTS.COM
- CHARS.COM
- DSPACE40.DOC
-
- SMEM
-
- Purpose: gives normal and extended RAM installed and RAM currently free,
- and gives total bytes available and bytes free on specified drive.
-
- Usage: smem [drive] [/n]
-
-
- Examples:
-
- smem - gives total and available capacity of current drive,
- and installed and available conventional RAM, plus
- installed extended memory (if any) and memory configured
- as XMS (if any) and EMS (expanded, if any). IT IS POSSIBLE
- THAT THE XMS AND EMS ROUTINES MAY CAUSE SMEM TO HANG. IF
- THIS IS THE CASE USE DEBUG AND SET SMEM TO OMIT XMS/EMS
- ROUTINES (SEE CUSTOMIZATION INFORMATION).
-
- smem a - as above, but reports on drive A
-
- Customizing: you can change the default color and the characters used for
- the "gas gauge" display of drive space using debug. Use the
- ATTS program to show available colors for your display
- and their hexadecimal codes, and the CHARS program for showing
- similar information on the character set.
-
- You can also switch off the XMS/EMS information by using DEBUG.

- e 6ca2 zz [zz is hexadecimal code for colour]
- e 6ca4 zz [zz 00 - XMS/EMS info. on 01 - XMS/EMS off]
- e 6ca6 zz [zz is hexadecimal code for "gas used" character]
- e 6ca8 zz [zz is hexadecimal code for "tank free" character]

- DSPACE : reports on installed hard disk capacity and disk
- space available. Shows information on up to 11
- drives on one screen if you are using a standard 25 line
- screen display, more if you use a screen with a greater
- number of lines.
-
- Usage: dspace [param1] [param2] [param3] ......
-
- where paramx has the following form:
-
- omitted - show all drives starting with c (and ending after 11
- if more than that)
-
- c - show drive c only
-
- c d e - show drives c, d and e
-
- c-g - show drives c to g
-
- +d - show all drives starting at d (until 11 have been shown)
-
- -f - omit drive f
-
- Examples:
-
- dspace : lists all available drives starting at c
- until the limit of 11 per screen is reached
-
- dspace +e : lists all available drives starting at e
- until the limit of 11 per screen is reached
-
- dspace e-h : lists all available drives starting at e
- and ending at h
-
- dspace e-h -f : lists all available drives starting at e
- and ending at h, but omits drive f
-
- NOTE: the parameters are evaluated left to right; it is possible
- to overwrite some parameters. For example, dspace e-h -f c-g
- would list all drives between c and g
-
-
- Customizing: you can change the default colours using debug. Use the
- ATTS program to show available colours for your display
- and their hexadecimal codes.
-
- You can also change the default ASCII characters used for
- showing "space used" and "space left" on the gas gauge. Use
- the program CHARS to select characters you wish to use,
- and make a note of their hexadecimal code (e.g. character ˆ
- is hexadecimal code f6; character ˜ is hexadecimal f7.

- e 6df4 ww [ww is text colour]
- e 6df6 xx [xx is "space used" colour on meter display]
- e 6df8 yy [yy is "space left" colour on meter display]
- e 6dfa zz [zz is "Totals" colour]
- e 6dfc aa [aa is gas gauge "full" character (hexadecimal)
- e 6dfe bb [aa is gas gauge "empty" character (hexadecimal)
