I tried to use the df.exe file that you sent to me, attached to your last message, and it gives me the following message in the command line of BASH :
bash.exe: /GNUWIN32/B18/H-I386-CYGWIN32/BIN/df.exe: (null)
while, at the same time a dialog box appears on-screen, with a caption "Error Starting Program", a "OK" button and a message that says :
"The DF.EXE file is linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL:GetDiskFreeSpaceExA.
What am I missing ?

It looks like you are using the wrong version of Windows or df should
have been written to use GetDiskFreeSpaceA if GetDiskFreeSpaceExA
doesn't exist. GetDiskFreeSpaceExA is available in Windows 95
OSR2(System Properties will say "Microsoft Windows 95" "4.00.950 B" if
the B is not there you do not have OSR2). Windows NT 4.0 does support
the GetDiskFreeSpaceExA function. Thus your OS must be Windows 95.
The df utility should be rewritten to use GetDiskFreeSpaceA if
GetDiskFreeSpaceExA doesn't exist. Its not too hard. Use
LoadLibrary/LoadLibraryEx to load Kernel32.dll, then GetProcAddress to
find GetDiskFreeSpaceExA. If it is not present, use GetDiskFreeSpaceA.
Unfortunately GetDiskFreeSpaceA may return incorrect information on the
size of the disks.

Another reply to something like this was that the ExA is the NT
version.
You need to rebuild the executable so that it is linked to the ..A
(sans Ex) as I seem to recall. And to steal somebodies one liner...
If memory serves me right... it would be the first time. ;)
