Welcome to
Disk Piecharter for Windows 95 and NT version 2.1a,
A utility that shows disk usage as interactive piecharts.
Shareware, freely distributable by anyone, provided all files are copied.
There is a free evaluation period of 30 days, to give users time to register
via Compuserve (SWREG #9118) or PsL (800-2424-PsL, id #11746) or SecureOrders
(https://www.secureorders.com/zorn/diskwin.html), phone 800-500-0326. Further
details are in the HELP file (diskpie.hlp).
After the 30 days, if the user has not registered, the program disables
itself.
Disk Piecharter for Windows 95 and NT is (c) 1996 Zorn Software, Overtoom 529,
1054 LK Amsterdam, the Netherlands. E-mail: hanszorn@xs4all.nl
Release notes for version 2.1a
Bugfix: statusbar now gives more correct information when moving mouse cursor
over file-segments.
Release notes for version 2.1
Added features:
1. Windows NT compatibility
Disk Piecharter now works with Windows NT 3.51 or higher.
2. Large Harddisk support
In NT, there are practically no limits to the size of disks
Disk Piecharter can handle.
In Windows 95, there is a limit of 2 GB for disk partitions, implied
by Windows itself.
With network drives > 2GB, Disk Piecharter will 'do the best it can'.
Though Windows 95 does not report the disksize (and free space) properly,
Disk Piecharter will, by summing up all filesizes, attempt to give a
reasonable result. It will issue a warning message saying that the results
are somehow estimated.
3. Clipboard copy
Upon requests from several users this feature was added. The copy
is of the Enhanced Metafile type, and can be imported in most word
processors, drawing software etc.
4. By adding a drive letter in the commandline (of a shortcut) you can
have Disk Piecharter startup with a preselected drive.
5. Shell integration: you can add Disk Piecharter to the context-menu of
disk drives and/ or directories. To get this working, do the following:
From Windows Explorer, select View/Options... and select the File Types
tab. Then browse to the 'drive' icon. Click 'Edit'. In the 'Actions'
field below, click 'New'. In the 'Action' field, enter the name you want
to call it, e.g. 'Piechart...'. In the Application field, enter the path
and filename to dskpie95.exe. That's it!
Release notes for version 2.0:
First standalone, 32 bits Windows 95 version.
Known problems:
In Windows NT, when using NTFS, there sometimes are problems with removing
directories.
