Hi, 

I need to know the size of the free space on a fat32 drive, but the
current _dos_getdiskfree() or statfs() cannot report sizes larger than
2GB.  

Eli Zaretskii has previously answered in a posting that __dpmi_int()
can be used to obtain the relevant information from DOS.  With no luck
I searched Ralph Brown's interrupt list for a useful function.  Even
if I find one, I'm not quite sure how to use it.  So some hints are
welcome if you know how to do this.

Thanks in advance!
