DSize
Another quickie from Robert Lang
DSize might be a replacement for "Info", but I wouldn't recommend it.
I wrote DSize in about an hour (due to certain problems which would take
much longer to explain than I have diskspace !) simply because I wanted
a more visual indication of my drives free space.
So, it has no real support, since its a whip-up and its serves my purpose
for now...if you like the idea and want to suggest changes or upgrades,
I'll probably like them (if they're related to visual drive space indicators)
and develop them ! Just contact me....
Simple usage, no arguments !
DSize does look for a local environment variable just for a little bit of
customisation, the variable "DFREEWIDTH" can set the shell width in
characters to anything greater than 63, the default is 70. This means
that if you are running overscan or something you can use the full width
of your shell to advantage.
DSize simply shows *'s for full blocks, -'s for empty blocks, try it and
you'll see !

custom software requests, jobs, etc. to :
