WinDirUsage V1.4 - June 15, 1994 Copyright (c) 1993-1994 by Kevin Routley. All rights reserved. WinDirUsage is a shareware MS-Windows utility that provides a graphical display of disk space usage. This is a convenient way to identify those directories which are the biggest disk space consumers. WinDirUsage uses a pie chart format and permits the examination of any directory on any drive. Several new features have been added to WinDirUsage since V1.3, including a menu bar, printing support, and on-line help. Installation ============ You most likely received your evaluation copy of WinDirUsage as a .ZIP file. To install, unpack the .ZIP file into a directory on your hard disk. Only WINDRU4.EXE is strictly required to run WinDirUsage, the other files are not needed after you've read them and ordered your registered copy. You may wish to keep WINDRU4.HLP for future reference. WINDRU4.EXE may be executed using the File|Run... command from either Program Manager or File Manager. You may wish to create an icon in Program Manager for convenient execution. Note that you may specify a hard disk to read on the command line, so WinDirUsage will read the indicated disk instead of the disk it was executed from. Getting Started =============== WinDirUsage initially reads the drive it was executed on. So if you run WinDirUsage from a floppy disk or another drive which has no subdirectories, the pie chart will merely show a circle and 100% of the disk space used by the files in the root directory. WinDirUsage allows you to select any drive on your system. Click on the down arrow next to the pulldown menu in the upper left corner to see available drives. When a drive has been selected, WinDirUsage will read the contents of the new drive. For a directory that has subdirectories, WinDirUsage will show a pie chart that has slices showing the size of each directory tree. The list box also shows each directory, sorted in order of size, largest listed first. The smallest directories will not be shown in the pie chart but are shown in the list box. You can select a new directory to view in more detail by either selecting the new directory in the list box, or by clicking on the corresponding section in the pie chart. WinDirUsage has many more features! See the online help file for more information. De-Installation =============== Should you choose not to keep WinDirUsage, it may be de-installed by deleting the files you restored from the distribution set. Also, delete any Program Manager groups and/or icons you may have created. Finally, delete WINDIRU.INI from your Windows directory. Thats it! Registration ============ This is an evaluation copy of WinDirUsage. You are free to evaluate WinDirUsage for a period of 30 days after initial installation, after which time you must register. Continuing to use the evaluation copy after the evaluation period is over is in violation of U.S. Federal Copyright laws. The single-license fee for WinDirUsage is $15.00 (U.S.), plus $2.50 (U.S.) shipping and handling. See ORDER-CC.TXT for information on ordering with a credit card, and ORDER.TXT for the order form. When you register WinDirUsage, you will receive: - A registered copy of the most recent version of WinDirUsage. Only registered copies of WinDirUsage will not always re-read the contents of the drive. - Notification of new versions of WinDirUsage and low-cost upgrades to the next release. Upgrades are currently $10+$2.50s&h for registered users. - Discounts on other Tekra Software products. - Preferred technical support and new features. - Satisfaction from supporting the shareware concept The registration fee should be sent to: Kevin Routley Tekra Software P.O. Box 7198 Nashua, NH 03060-7198 Please specify your preferred floppy disk size (5 1/4" or 3 1/2"). If no size is indicated you will be sent a 5 1/4" diskette. Site liscensing is negotiable. These fees are guarenteed through December 31, 1994. Feedback ======== New versions of WinDirUsage will be released over time, depending on demand and how quickly I can add new features.
