I would like a DA that would show me how much room is left on any
of my disk drives, either on my own MAC or over a network like
Appletalk - Localtalk.  This is useful if I plan to download a file
and want to see if I have enough room to do so.For example, Red Ryder
shows how much room is left on the hard disk when you request a capture
of a file, but it doesn't show how much room is left on a floppy.  It
would also be nice to have a DA which could format a floppy, so that
if it seems that not enough room is left on a existing drive, a new
volume could be made available.

If someone could point me to an existing commercial or public domain
DA to do the above I'd be most appreciative.
