Hi,
only thing I needed is to get free disk space, so I write a small
function:

QWord disk_avail(char *path)
{
  struct statfs fs;
  statfs(path,&fs);                    // nacti info o VFS do
struktury
  return((QWord)fs.f_bsize*(QWord)fs.f_bfree);
}

Under Win9x it works fine but under XP it reports much less free space
than really is but only if the free space is beyond 2GB. I think
there's somewhere some data type limitadion. Is there better way to do
this to make it working for all DOS/9x/NT ?
