I have ARC 6.02ST and I found out last night that it doesn't tell you when it runs out of disk space! Freeware buyer beware!

This is what Sentinel, from John Eidsvoog, is for. It checks during writes to see if there's space left; if not, it puts a dialog box up. It was written specifically for ARC 6.02 and another program whose name slips my mind at the moment, which doesn't check for full drives. Looks like another program I'll be sending to atari.archive. Look for it in a couple of days. -- Ed Krimen ............................................... ||| Video Production Major, California State University, Chico ||| INTERNET: ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu FREENET: al661 / | \ SysOp, Fuji BBS: 916-894-1261 FIDONET: 1:119/4.0
