-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This program reports free space available on a drive, or group of drives.
It will exit with an errorlevel that corresponds to the number of free
megabytes on the LAST drive reported.
Thus, if:
42,661,888 bytes total on drive C:
8,058,880 bytes free.
FREE will exit with errorlevel 7.
1 megabyte is 1024 bytes x 1024 so FREE exits with errorlevel 7, even though
the there are more than 8 million *bytes* free.
This makes FREE ideal for use in batch files with single drives that require
a specific amount of free disk space.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax:
FREE [?] [a] [b] ...
Parameters:
Using ? as the first parameter will tell FREE to display the
errorlevel when it exits:
Other parameters can be any combination of drives. Only the first letter
of each parameter so the following will all result in the same output:
FREE c d
