PCTRDSP.MRG Documentation
October 29, 1983
James A. Grettum
Fargo, ND
After seeing Jack Wright's version of the disk space checker I decided
that I wanted one. But when I tried Jack's version it wouldn't work on
my machine. So, since I'm not a Programmer, it took me a lot of work, but
I got Jack's revised so it work's on my machine. I hope it works on yours
also.
PCTRDSP.MRG should be merged with PC-TALK.III. It will check how much disk
space you have left for downloading while connected to another computer.
It has only been tested on 2-sided drives. For 1-sided drives, It should
work if you change the 1024 in line 3135 to 512.
It is used by typing Alt-V (the PC-TALK "View" command). Then by viewing
the disk directory using the "?". The "View" command will now list the
directory followed by the number of bytes of free space remaining on the
"logged" disk (which disk is the logged disk can be changed via the Alt-L
command). The logged disk is normally the B: disk. The "View" command
otherwise works exactly as before.
The values presently used in the DEF SEG and CLEAR statements assume a 128K
system.
DO NOT CHANGE "DSK=&H100" (unless you enjoy debugging).
My version was only made possible through the use of Jack Wright program.
So if you like this modification you should thank Jack Wright where ever
he is.
