Program Requirements: ===================== MS-DOS 3.3 or greater (DOS 5 highly reccomended). Windows 3.0 or greater (Windows 3.1 reccommended). 286 or greater CPU (286 will work just fine).

Program Description: ==================== Drive Watch is a small utility which monitors your computer system's hard drives and system memory. The program will make an Icon for each drive it can detect (from C: to Z:). Removable drives like SyQuest drives, and networked drives will have unique Icons to identify them. When you double click on a drive's Icon, a file utility shell will be activated. The default shell is MSDOS.EXE, the MS-DOS Executive that ships with Windows. INSTRUCTIONS: ============= To activate Drive Watch for the first time: 1] Open the File Manager 2] Change to the drive where DRVWTCH.EXE is located 3] Copy the DRVWTCH.EXE file to your Windows directory 3] Drag the DRVWTCH.EXE name from the File Manager into a Program Group in the Program Manager. 4] Double click the DRVWTCH icon ALTERNATELY: Use any file utility to copy DRVWTCH.EXE to your Windows directory, then run the application Explanation of the Drive Watch functions: Load at Startup: When this box is checked, Drive Watch will automatically load itself when you restart windows. Unchecking this box will stop Drive Watch from loading at startup. Show Free Memory: When this box is checked, the window title for the Drive Watch program and Icon will display the largest block of free memory that Windows can allocate. Show Volume Names : When this box is checked, the drive Icons will display the volume names of their drives as well as remaining free space. Seconds Between Samples: This number (the number must be between 1 and 2 quadrillion) indicates the amount of time between samples of free memory and available drive space. Shell to execute on double click: Name of the file manager or utility shell to execute when a drive's Icon is double clicked. The shell will be passed the root directory of the drive when activated. Save: Click this button to save choices selected for re-use. Reset: Rest controls to default status Close: Close the application, and exit About Drive Watch: Information about Drive Watch TROUBLESHOOTING: ================ No application appears when I double click the drive Icon: Check to be sure that you've correctly spelled the name of the FILE to be run on a double click. The program doesn't use the name of the application (i.e. 'File Manager') by the name of the FILE (i.e. 'WINFILE.EXE'). Garbage characters display instead of system free memory: Wait for one cycle of the system check. The free memory display will update correctly. Icons are all stacked up when Drive Watch runs at startup. Wait for one cycle of the system check. The Icons will automatically unstack themselves.
