Leland said his platform is Windows 98. but that's all I know. you can get a diff using winmerge. https://sourceforge.net/projects/winmerge/ winmerge is a windows program. otherwise, you can use DJGPP's diff.exe to generate a diff, it runs under freedos.
I understand now that Leland seems to take preference to chkdsk's KiB format over everything else. This could explain the rewrite. I chose an SI units format and he chose to convert it to chkdsk format. to each his own I guess. I added a switch in my own program to make provision for people who want the output in specific units (like UNIX's 512-byte blocks or chkdsk's KiB). it simply divides the output by that number on the commandline and uses verbose mode, since I can't determine the SI units or computer iunits. He's also the only person who has been willing to test my df program on other platforms. All I need now is a windows-compatible binary VM that has DPMI (virtualbox doesn't). If I find a VM that works, I will see if I can offer it as a package on my site. and frankly, I'm tired of being middle-man. ________________________________ From: Eric Auer <e.a...@jpberlin.de> To: freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Sun, February 20, 2011 3:30:44 AM Subject: Re: [Freedos-devel] documentation for FreeDOS filesystem or other programming functions/interfaces?

I find it strange when somebody says my software produces "bogus" results and that person even creates a "fixed" version before even telling me about the alledged bug. What sort of bogus did it show? And in what way was the output not "usable"? > If that code is yours, and I get it from him, I could email it to > you (or post it here if you wish). A diff would be useful, with explanations. If you have to send full attachments, you could send them directly to me. However, I just tested freetest again, and as you can see, it does exactly what it is supposed to do: > C:\>freetest /? > Public domain free disk space checker by EA 2004-2005 > > Usage: > FREETEST [X:] [4] > Drive spec is optional, default is the current drive. > The digit is an optional size unit selector, default 1 kByte: > 0->1k, 1->4k, 2->16k, 3->64k, 4->256k, > 5->1M, 6->4M, 7->16M, 8->64M, 9->256M. > Free space information is returned in errorlevel, 0 on error. > > Example: FREETEST C: 5 returns errorlevel 50 if at least > 50 MBytes are free on C:.
