   drive space checking...

   i've been running the universal flavor of allfix for many years... my system   
   is OS/2 Warp 3 Connect with hpfs drives... i make sure that i load a module so   
   that the 2gig overflow stuff is hidden from DOS programs... however, this   
   doesn't work on the OS/2 side so i've always run my allfix from the DOS side...   
      
   so, i've had a problem for a long time where allfix would tell me that it   
   could not move a file due to lack of drive space... however, if i manually   
   removed the duplicate that would be replaced, then the allfix would properly   
   move the new file to where it needed to be... it has been frustrating enough   
   that i was just going to turn off some of the areas that this happens in all   
   the time... yeah, i did turn off space checking in the setup but it didn't   
   help...   
      
   then the other day i found the command line option -NoSpaceChk and was quite   
   surprised to find that it works! YAY!!! no more full BADTICS directory and the   
   files are properly moved...   
      
   the strange thing is that the configs are set (via setup) to not check drive   
   space and REPLACE is allowed... so i don't understand why it was telling me no   
   space on destination when it should not have even been looking... possibly an   
   erroneous error message? it should maybe have been another one?   
      
   either way, i wanted to share the news that i finally fixed a problem i've had   
   for a decade or better and just never really talked about out here :)
