Microsoft Windows 95(a) does not feature the function GetDriveSpaceEx () which causes pcstat32 to generate an error message when run (names kernel32.dll, never mind). Use pcstat95 instead which uses GetDriveSpace () but will not report more than 2 GB under Microsoft Windows 95(a). On all other platforms use pcstat32.

Examples

pcstat32

Supported OS

Win32 console application for Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000.
