WinPark v1.0 Copyright 1990 by CDB. All Rights Reserved. ======================================================== WinPark is a head parking utility for Microsoft Windows 2.x, the first of its kind as far as I know. It uses DOS interrupts and Windows calls exclusively and should therefore work on all PCs, ATs, and PS/2s. WinPark will move the disk heads to the last cylinder on ALL PHYSICAL HARD DRIVES on the computer. You will hear a "swish" sound for each PHYSICAL (not logical) hard drive that WinPark has parked. You may unpark the heads and return to Windows by pressing the spacebar or clicking on the "Unpark Heard(s)" pushbutton with your mouse. NOTE: If you're running Wilson WindowWare's excellent "Command Post" AND there is a vertical scrollbar on the MS-DOS exec window AND you call WinPark from a menu selection, part of the the MS-DOS exec's client window area will go blank for as long as the WinPark window is present. This is not a bug; it probably has something to do with the fact that WinPark tries to make sure that no disk accesses occur while its window is displayed. If you ever decide to unpark the heads, the MS-DOS window will be repainted without any problems. This whole thing ONLY happens if the above 3 conditions are present. Pricing And Distributing ======================== WinPark is absolutely free of charge (refreshing, eh) and it may be freely distributed. I do, however, ask that 1. No modifications be made to the program or to this documentation file. 2. Both files be kept together when copied or uploaded to a BBS or to an information network such as CompuServe. 3. No fee be charged for the program (or the distributing or copying of the program). Also, if you like WinPark, have found some bug(s) in the program, have any feasible suggestions/improvements for the program, or might be interested in recruiting a bright soon-to-be M.S. in Computer Science you may send me mail at CIS 73707,2334. Finally, although WinPark has been thoroughly tested and should never cause any problems, I still have to say that... DISCLAIMER: WinPark is distributed on an "as-is" basis, with no warranties for usefulness or suitability expressed or implied. There are no warranties whatsoever associated with WinPark. The user assumes full responsibility and liability for any possible damage arising as a consequence of the use/misuse of WinPark.
