Re: Oh where has my disk space gone?

Rebecca,

I have changed my recomendation.

Looks like RTVDSKINF and PRTDSKINF, like jt and others say, is the way to
go.  PRTDSKINF looks like it has some options that are exactly what you
need.

Thank you for posting.  I would not have known about this otherwise.

Steve Richter
