Space A Disk Space Monitor for Windows 3 Copyright (c) 1991 Nordevald Software All Rights Reserved About Space ----------- Space is a little utility which I originally wrote for DESQview. It simply opens a small window and displays the currently available space on each of the drives that Space has been told to watch. At regular intervals the disk space is rechecked. This version of Space has been completely rewritten to run under Windows 3.0. License ------- Space may be freely copied and distributed. Continued use of Space after a reasonable evaluation period requires a one time $5 registration fee. Registration entitles you to the following: - Use of Space on one computer at a time. - Online support. - Online access to upgrades for the life of the product. Installing Space ---------------- To install Space, simply copy or unzip it to your hard drive. Then either: A. Add it to the LOAD= or RUN= entries in WIN.INI. This way you can tell at a glance if you've got enough room left to download that new version of FractInt or if a runaway program is eating up all your disk space. B: Add it to a program group in the Program Manager. Then you can just double-click Space's icon to see which partition has enough room to install Borland's upgrade of the week. C: None of the above. Space is just as easily run from the File Run prompt of the Program and File Managers when you need it. Configuring Space ----------------- By default, Space will monitor all local hard drives in your system and will recheck the space every 10 seconds. These settings can be changed by choosing the Config option on Space's system menu. The first field in the Config dialog box is the drive list. This should contain the drive letters for each disk you want to monitor in the order you want them displayed. For example, to monitor drives C, D, and F you would enter: CDF in the drive list field. Floppy drives can be monitored as well as hard drives. If there is no disk in the drive Space will report 0 bytes free on that drive. You may also specify the update interval (in seconds). The interval field should contain a number in the range 0-32767. If 0 is entered, Space will not recheck the disk space until you double-click the mouse on Space's window. Space saves its configuration information in a file called NORDSOFT.INI in your Windows directory. Temporarily Adding or Deleting Drives ------------------------------------- Drives can be added or deleted from the monitor list quickly by pressing the Insert or Delete key while Space is active. Changes made this way will not be saved to the configuration file. Note to Developers ------------------ Space has been tested under the debugging kernel.
