The DRIV_MAN display includes: DRIVE DATA SUMMARY with capacity, used and free ÿfor ÿeach available/selected drive, ÿDRIVE DATA GRAPH with the same data for each drive, ÿTOTAL DISK SUMMARY and GRAPH, ÿand INDIVIDUAL DRIVE DATA displaying information on one drive at a time. Program options include: Toggle any of six sort orders for the DRIVE DATA SUMMARY, ÿselectable/editable ÿdisplay ÿDRIVE RANGE, ÿdisk storage of the DISK DRIVE SUMMARY display, ÿand the ability to run a file manager, FILE- MAN, from within the program. Registered users may also change the various display colors, the location of the display sections, and various setup parameters.  2COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS The syntax for DRIV_MAN is: [drive:path]DRIV_MAN [[first_drive][-][last_drive]][/a][/c][/gxxx][/m] where: first_drive default = C last_drive default = LASTDRIVE as defined in DOS/CONFIG.SYS /a = Automatically run DRIV_MAN and store the display. /c = Force CGA monitor. (/g)xxx = Optional configuration file extension (default is CFG). Use of the configuration file is limited to registered users only. Example: /gcg2 will use "DRIV_MAN.CG2". /m = Force monochrome monitor. Press [PAGEDOWN] for some first_drive - last_drive examples.

Using this feature, ÿa snapshot may be saved before cleaning up a logical drive/drives ÿand then another ÿsnapshot saved afterward, for comparison. Another ÿuse ÿis ÿto take Disk Summary snapshots monthly to see ÿhow ÿthe system's disk status is changing over time. ->úTo ÿstore the screen display, ÿpress [F3]. ÿThe screen display will be stored ÿin ÿa ÿfile ÿnamed "DRIVE_MAN.DAT", ÿÿand ÿa ÿcompletion ÿmessage displayed. ÿIf this file already exists, ÿon the drive-directory on which the program is located, ÿthe current data will be APPENDED to it. ÿIf the file ÿdoes not exist, ÿit will be CREATED on the same drive-directory ÿas the program.  6[F4] SHELLING TO A FILE MANAGER FILE_MAN, ÿÿanother shareware program from MicroMetric, ÿis a menu driven file manager utility. ÿIt, ÿor another file manager, ÿmay be run directly from ÿDRIV_MAN ÿto ÿcopy, ÿÿmove, ÿdelete files ÿor ÿperform ÿother ÿfile maintenance functions. ->úTo ÿrun ÿFILE_MAN, ÿfirst select the desired drive ÿby ÿpressing ÿit's letter, and then press [F4]. Registered ÿusers may change the name of the desired file manager by ÿuse of the configuration file.  7CONFIGURATION FILE The ÿoptional ÿDRIV_MAN ÿconfiguration ÿfile contains all of the ÿdisplay color and position variables. ÿÿThese ÿvariables are initially set to the program ÿdefaults. ÿÿThey may be edited by use of any ÿASCII ÿeditor/word processor.
