  Unless they add a display to show the amount of free memory.  Then you have
a problem. =)  Errorlevels are much more reliable.  Checking the directory
using DOS function calls to see if .PKT files are there is much better.  Using
a log file, such as DSZ.LOG, which basically a "Standard" format is better...
I've just always found that it is much better to not rely on something that
isn't either directly in your control, or accepted as a major standard (such
as the DOS Int 21h Functions).
