(c) 2020 Supratim Sanyal | |
A minimal program to zero out unused disk space for OS/2 Warp and derivates | |
(eComstation, ArcaOS etc.). Nothing OS/2 specific here, it should work for all | |
operating systems with a C compiler once the OS/2-style (MS-DOS style) pathnames | |
for drive letter and directory for the zero.zero file are adjusted. | |
Compiled using Borland C++ 2.0 for OS/2. Executable is downloadable free from: | |
