Hello All;
About a month or so ago I changed my Arachne TEMP to HD instead of RD so I
could see what was going on. And then I forgot about it.
Two nights ago I was using Arachne online and while rendering a JPG I saw an
error message flash on the screen and then the screen showed about 1/2 of the
image. I tried it again and saw that the DJPEG32 error message was "Disk full".
I exited and found I had only 600kb space available in my 100Mb "C" partition.
To understand how silly this was, I must tell you that "C" contains only
MSDOS 6.2 plus 3 separate Arachne installs - NO Windows or Linux stuff.
All things considered, "C" should have no more than 30Mb total on it. :/
I did a Norton "Listdir" to remind myself what was on there, and noticed
that it paused a while at \ARACHNE\TEMP.
Checking ARACHNE\TEMP, I found it contained *27* MEGABYTES of crap - mostly
.HTM files. This was collected in about a month of about one hour per day
use, and I clean cache (F8) religiously before I start EVERY day !
Here is another interesting bit:
This is a P90 using MSDOS 6.2.
It took one minute and 34 sec to delete *.* in ARACHNE\TEMP.
Now I have about 28 Mb free.
I can't find what is using the missing 40 Mb remainder.
Chkdsk and Norton show no lost clusters.
Does anyone know of a utility that maps disk usage by directory or filename ?
Thanks.
