Wengier, thanks for pointing this out; I've taken your suggestion. Now
frame FREE uses @DISKFREE if vDos-lfn is running; otherwise, it reads
the "bytes free" line from a Windows directory listing. In either
case, the free-space report should be accurate.
The revised frame is attached (FREE.FRM). As usual, CAll it in
XyWrite, do DFA
to highlight the entire file, then
ADD2U2 to add it to U2.
I've also updated the U2 archives:
For new users (or users running U2 v122 or earlier):
http://users.datarealm.com/xywwweb/XYWEB124.ZIP
For users running U2 v123 or v124:
http://users.datarealm.com/xywwweb/U2VER124.ZIP
Unzip all files into the directory with EDITOR.EXE. Overwrite existing files.
The current U2 archives include several recent "stealth" revisions, so
I recommend updating when you have a chance.
