I'm looking for a way to look at a particular drive and tell what the free
drive space is...  Does anyone know of a simple set of commands to do this???

You need to specify what compiler you're using.  In Borland 4.0 there's
two ways, getdfree and _dos_getdiskfree.  Both of these use dos.h as the header file.  If checking
a compressed file, you need to take the value you recieve with a grain of salt.

This is operating-system specific.  There is no portable way of doing this.
