    INTRODUCTION
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    THE DEMO VERSION HAS THE 'ACTION' FEATURE DISABLED FOR BOTH CHIP &
    FAST MEMORY.  THE REGISTERED VERSION WILL INCLUDE THIS FEATURE.

    For BBS owners or graphic artists that consume large quantities of
    disk storage 'DiskMonitor' can help you keep an eye on your primary
    storage devices, prompting a warning when they 'get too full'!
    Upto ten seperate devices can be monitored by 'DiskMonitor' with
    only those devices going beyond the set limits being displayed.
    Information on all devices can also be displayed by using the pull
    down menus.  This prevents, your system from 'halting' with a
    'disk full' message, by providing a early warning system for such
    problems.  Cleanup scripts can also be started automatically to
    cleanup temporary files for any monitored device(s).

    USING DISKMONITOR
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ----------------
    Getting Started:
    ----------------
    You can start 'DiskMonitor' from the supplied icon, or from the CLI/
    Shell using:

    >Run DiskMonitor

    ... you will be presented with the preferences window.

    (Please refer to the online help file for more information.)


    --------
    Options:
    --------
    The following options are available from the CLI/ Shell.

    -w<value> .......... Specify warning  limits in a %: ie., 80.
    -c<value> .......... Specify critical limits in a %: ie,. 90.
    -p ................. Edit prefereneces when 'hidden'.
    -q ................. Exit 'DiskMonitor' when 'hidden'.

    (For information on 'TOOLTYPES' please refer to the online help file.)


    ----------------
    Pull-Down Menus:
    ----------------

    Projects Menu:
    --------------
    Preferences/Edit ... Edit monitoring preferences.
    Preferences/Save ... Save & use current monitoring preferences.
    About .............. Program credits & info.
    Quit ............... Exit 'DiskMonitor'.


    Device Info Menu:
    -----------------
    <DEVICE> ........... Specific device information.

    (By selecting a specific device, you can obtain more detailed
     information about the device.)


    ------------
    Preferences:
    ------------
    You can edit the preferences any time the warning window is open
    by selected the "Projects/Preferences/Edit" option.

    If 'DiskMonitor' is 'hidden' you can use either:

    >Run DiskMonitor -p

       (...or...)

    >Run CCFQ ?

    ... then enter the task# for 'DiskMonitor' followed by PREF.
    (Ie., 'CCFQ 2 PREF')

    You can enter upto ten (10) devices to monitor.  However,  if
    device monitoring has not 'activated' by clicking on the box just
    left of the device's name (the empty box now has an 'X' in it),
    the device will not be monitored.

    As of this release, the WARNING & CRITICAL levels are the same
    for all devices being monitored.

    After changing the preferences you can select:

    SAVE ..... Use changes for all sessions.
    USE ...... Use changes for this and other sessions.
    DONE ..... Use changes only for this session.

    If you click on the close window gadget (button) when editing the
    preferences for 'DiskMonitor' then 'DiskMonitor' will exit.


    -----------
    Monitoring:
    -----------
    You can monitor upto ten (10) devices in a single session.  Each
    device in checked in order of entry (from the preferences window)
    in a 1/2 second interval.  Therefore, if four (4) devices are
    being monitored, it will take two (2) seconds to complete the
    monitoring cycle: 4 * .5 = 2.

    When the warning window is displayed, any 'CCFQ' commands will be
    ignored.


    --------
    Warning:
    --------
    When a device(s) goes beyond the set WARNING limits, a small status
    window is displayed showing the device & it's current capacity.
    When the capacity(s) drops below the WARNING limits, then this window
    will be closed, and 'DiskMonitor' is considered to be 'hidden'.

    If the CRITICAL limits are exceeded, then the action specified
    from within the preferences window ACTION will be taken until
    the capacity(s) drop below the set limits.


    -----
    CCFQ:
    -----
    The following 'ccf' commands are recognized when 'DiskMonitor' is
    'hidden':

    PREF
    QUIT

    (Please refer to the help file(s) for 'CCFQ' for more information.)


    -----------------------
    Software Configuration:
