I have noted some problems with the utilities 'df' - disk free space, and 'du' - disk used space, in the recently posted Picnix, ver 2. My system is an AT&T PC-6300 having dual floppies (drives a: and b:) and external hard disk (drive c:). I am currently running DOS 2.11. The problems I am having are as follows: df - works fine if I request for drive a: or c: or if either is the default drive. When I try to request for drive b: I get the following messages: ******************************************** * Illegal Interrupt No. 0Bh at 22A2:1617 * ******************************************** =: invalid drive specifier: b: du - works fine if I specify any drive name, even b:. The built in help indicates "If no names are specified on the command line, the size of the current directory is given." However, when I type 'du<cr>' I get ' 0 0.0K .' as the response. This is obviously in error and does not appear to be consistent with the help. Dave Beyerl ihnp4!ihlpl!db21

I haven't had the problems you noted - but I haven't tried them, either. I have noticed that 'ls ..' prints an empty list - not what I had in mind. Otherwise a VERY nice set of utilities, though, especially for the donation requested. I'm thinking about ordering the source - there's sure to be some good examples & stuff in there. Does anybody know for sure whether the author is still there at the address given in the doc? Has anyone ordered the source, and if so, what do you think of it? -- Carl Paukstis +1 509 927 5600 x5321 |"I met a girl who sang the blues | and asked her for some happy news UUCP: carlp@iscuvc.ISCS.COM | but she just smiled and turned away" ...uunet!iscuva!iscuvc!carlp |

The instruction at 1617h is an INT 11 (0Bh -- COM2:) and it should be an INT 11h (Equipment check). This can be easily fixed by patching: >copy df.exe df.bak >ren df.exe df >debug df -e 1918 (0B) 11 -w -q >ren df df.exe Hope this helps. Mark
