SPACE Version 1.0
by
Tom Strickland


Space is a utility that will count the bytes used by the specified
drive, path and file wild cards. This is a handy utility to determine
BEFORE you to a DOS COPY command if the files will fit on a floppy.
SPACE only reports on files that are copied by the DOS copy command.

EXAMPLE
If you have a dir \ARC on your Hard Disk and you want to know
if COPY *.ARC will fit on your floppy then simply do a
SPACE \arc\*.arc

USAGE
SPACE [d:][path][fname.ext]

Where
d: is the optional drive letter A-Z

path is the optional path specification.
SPACE will take a path name such as \ARC\
and expand it to \ARC\*.* in other words you need
not type the *.* but you do need the last \.

fname.ext is the optional file names wild cards are acceptable.

If no paramters are specified the current working path and drive
are assumed with a wildcard file name of *.*

DISTRIBUTION
You may distribute this program freely provided you do NOT alter
the the executable file to this DOCUMENT. This Document must be

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
