CHAIN : File Chain Program Version 2.17, 25 May 1989 SMG Software (C) Copyright 1986,1989 by Steven Georgiades All Rights Reserved This program enables the user to easily determine which clusters a specified file occupies. The first cluster on every disk is considered to be #2 (Don't blame me! That's the way DOS defines it!). If a file occupies a number of contiguous clusters, this program will not list each one seperately, but will list them as a range. Command Format: CHAIN [d:][path]filename[.ext] Examples: CHAIN SAMPLE.BAK (Will tell what clusters belong to the file SAMPLE.BAK on the current drive in the current sub-directory) CHAIN A:TEMP (Will tell what clusters belong to the file TEMP on the currently selected sub-directory of drive A) CHAIN \FRED (Will tell what clusters belong to the file FRED in the root directory of the current drive) Revision History: Version 2.00 First Released Version Version 2.14 Fixed some minor bugs Version 2.15 Fixed bug that would cause erroneous results on an AT with a 30 Meg Hard Disk Version 2.16 Added Usage Message Version 2.17 Fixed bug that caused all subdirectories to be reported as having zero clusters. CHAIN now reports only the physical size of a subdirectory and the logical size and waste report is suppressed. A message also informs the user that the filespec belongs to a subdirectory.
