THE TALKING CHECKBOOK ADVENTURE GAME!
Well, it was great fun writing the adventure game, but now
we have a problem that has come up that you'll need to fix
yourself. It's no big deal, but your disk space will continue to
decrease if you don't use the DOS "CHKDSK/F" command after
running the checkbook and adventure game.
The problem is that the adventure game erases a set of files
that you don't need to use with the checkbook, but for some
reason, these files are not totally erased from the disk. They
take up space as lost chains and you can get rid of them by using
the following command sequence:
At the DOS prompt while on the drive in which you use the
checkbook, type "CHKDSK/F" and when asked if you want to convert
the lost chains to files, answer "N" for no. The "CHKDSK/F"
command will then free up all that space for you.
We are working to try and find a good library function that
will do this automatically but our efforts have not been fruitful
to date. At some point, we are confident that we will get our
hands on some code that will take care of this situation.
