                             ReadMe file for !Aidon
      
                                     v1.16


           Aidon will cause a window to appear as soon as you choose 
          'Free' from a filer menu. It will show the amount of 'free'
          and 'used' in K's instead of bytes. It will also show a bar
          which is symbolic for the amount of disc space used. 

           Since version 1.10 of Aidon, the window will always show the 
          current amount of free space. Every disc activity causes the
          specific Aidon window to update its contents. 

           I didn't like the usual 'Command Window' way of showing the
          free disc space, so I made this module. But, I think Acorn
          should have embellish the old style 'FREE' command (if used
          in the Desktop).

           In the !Run file of the application you can specify the
          desired colour of the 'used space bar'. Just enter at the
          end of the line 'RMLoad <Obey$Dir>.!RunImage' a number
          between 0 and 15. (e.g. 'RMLoad <Obey$Dir>.!RunImage 11',
          this will make the bar red). Check the palette utility for
          the numbers.
          
           Aidon should work with any filer, as long as they behave
          properly. RamFS does not specify a discname, so this one 
          will always be call 'RamDisc'. MultiFS behaves incorrect 
          when it is asked for a disc name, so this one is always 
          called 'Unknown'.
                                   
           Aidon is a module task. It was hand coded, which means it
          is fast and compact. The module takes about 6K, and it
          claims an additional 2K of workspace. This size has the
          advantage that on smaller systems (e.g. 1 Mb machines), it
          is still possible to use Aidon next to memory intensive
          tasks.

           If you have any suggestions, or you found some bug, or if
          you just want to tell me how great you think this program
          is, write a note to the address below.
