L A S T A C C E S S File Access Monitor From Patri-Soft 5225 Canyon Crest Dr. Suite 71-358 Riverside CA, 92507 (909) 352-2820 (909) 352-1527 FAX Last Access is a tiny TSR which monitors all accesses for any file on your system. Last Access keeps track of the last time a file was accessed, and by what program. An access occurs anytime you edit, change, or even view a file. Last Access remains in memory, "watching" these accesses, and marking the accesses in the DOS directory. Patri-Soft has provided a special directory utility that you can use instead of DOS' DIR. This directory scanner will provide you with all the information that DOS DIR provides you with, in addition to the last access date and program. Also, you can configure the output to fit you needs. Imagine having a full hard drive. You want to get rid of some files that are unused, but have no way of knowing when the files were last used, and by what program. So, you type: C:\WP\FILES> DIR and you get: Volume in drive C is MS-DOS Volume Serial Number is 1A7F-7458 Directory of C:\WP\FILES . 10-02-92 3:54p .. 10-02-92 3:54p AMEND FAX 11481 10-28-89 11:03p FOSTER LTR 3637 05-02-90 10:53p BIKE TRP 4356 11-16-89 10:28a ETC... You still have no idea as to what files you can get rid of, and what files you need to keep. Imagine being able to type: C:\WP\FILES> LDIR and you get: Volume in drive C is MS-DOS Volume Serial Number is 1A7F-7458 Directory of C:\WP\FILES . 10-02-92 3:54p .. 10-02-92 3:54p AMEND FAX 11481 10-28-89 11:03p 12-31-92 BITFAX FOSTER LTR 3637 05-02-90 10:53p 05-02-90 WP BIKE TRP 4356 11-16-89 10:28a 06-25-93 EXPRESS ETC... ^ ^ last date last program Now you know exactly when you last used any file on your entire system. Imagine the megabytes of disk space that can be freed with this knowledge! If you don't use any given file/program for a period of 30 days, chances are you are not going to use it at all. Run the Last Access TSR for 30 days and you can then start getting rid of all those unused files. Here are some of the uses of Last Access: * Eliminate unused, unneccesary files * Some software packages include files that you do not use.
