I am in the process of programming an all resolution painting program in
GFA Basic, and I decided to put in a routine to show you how much free
disk space you have on a disk.  I ran the procedure and it said that I
had 0K available, but only 622367 of the 720000+Bytes were used.  I used
the show info.  option on the desktop and got the same results.  What
does this mean?  Can it be corrected?

Thanks in advance
