RDIR Version 1.12 by R.P.McCormick             Registration $10.00
UTIL GRAPH RELATIVE DIRECTORY SIZE: CGA EGA VGA

Update

RDIR.EXE                    Version 1.12          Nov 9, 1991

I wrote RDIR because the DOS command "DIR" provides only
the size of each file in the current directory. I wanted
something to show the size of each subdirectory. Typically
on a hard disk, there are several subdirectories, and RDIR
shows the size of each. This is useful in tracking down what
is taking up too much room on the disk.

A pie chart shows the size of each subdirectory, relative to
the total of all subdirectories at the current level, sorted by size.
Files at current level are not included in the pie.
A bar chart·shows the size of the current directory,
including files at the current level, as a percent of the whole disk.
If percents are less than 1%, it prints a dot.

There is no limit on the number of directories at any level,
but I have limited the nesting of subdirectories to 16.

No parameters are required on the command line, but you can type
"RDIR ega" or "RDIR cga" to force it to operate in those modes.
There is a help screen, reachable with the function key F1 while
the graphics display is active.
RDIR ?, h, or H also brings up the help screen.

REVISION 1.12:
No longer ignores the size of "hidden" files.
Includes the disk space taken up by empty directories.
Adds the bar chart or "Thermometer" for CGA. Previously came up
only for EGA & VGA.

RDIR was compiled using Borland's C++.

You are encouraged to register this program. As shareware, it is
given to you for the purpose of allowing you to try it out to see
if you will find it useful. If it is not something you are going
to find much use for, it doesn't cost you anything. But if you
continue to use the program, you are violating the agreement.
The first time this program is run, it creates a unique serial
number, and allows you to enter your name for display each time
it runs. You are given a free trial period of about 20 uses,
after which the program ceases to function. If you register, you
get a validation key number to enter, after which you will have
unlimited use of the program.

For your convenience in registering, print out the registration form
provided. Use the DOS command:  TYPE REG.FRM > PRN.

Your registration also provides me with an incentive to write
more useful programs to improve your productivity.

Please feel free to distribute unmodified copies of RDIR. Once
it has run, however, and has generated the unique Serial Number
which identifies it as your copy, it is considered a modified
copy, and is not to be distributed. It is easy to distinguish the
original unmodified file from your copy by doing a DIR listing.
The original has a date about the time this was written, and your
copy shows the date that your copy first ran.


Following is the Help Screen. Note that the serial number shown is
zero, as it is before the program runs. It will not generate an actual
serial number zero.

RDIR: show Relative DIRectory size.
Version 1.12  by R.P.McCormick
79 Rye Street
Broad Brook, CT 06016
Command Line:    RDIR  [screenspec]
screenspec (CGA or EGA) is optional. Is for testing only.
RDIR selects best available graphics: VGA if present.
RDIR examines current directory. Ignores names on command line.
Use DOS command "CD" to move to and examine other directories.
The Pie shows total disk space used by the subdirectories.
The Thermometer includes files at current level.
Totals shown are for full clusters: on a typical hard disk,
this means a file containing up to 4096 bytes
occupies 4096 bytes of disk space.
RDIR '?' or 'h' or 'H' brings up the help screen.
To print this screen, enter RDIR ? > PRN
