[comp.sys.cbm] Checking available floppy space -> assigning value to a variable

ray3rd@ssc-vax.UUCP (Ray E. Saddler III) (02/01/90)

Hello - As an 'illiterate to Basic language, asking for a friend
without Usenet access'.....I submit the following problem/question;

How can you (from within Basic) acquire the number of bytes or
blocks available on a floppy, and having that value assigned to a
program variable?  

The value of the variable would determine if some file management
would be necessary in maintaining a certain level of space.
