Re: show drive space used?

Al,

I could, which is what I think Rolf did, but I already made a big start on
doing it with dir_walk (or walk_dir, whichever it is).  It works ok with
each directory, my problem was with summing them to get to the actual whole
drive space used; turns out I didn't take into account the space used to
*hold* each directory's data, (one or more clusters each), and a cluster or
more for the drive itself to hold directory info.

Any idea how I could know how many clusters are used per directory & per
drive for file/dir data?
