Speed up 1st DIR on large hard drives

In case you missed it over at VCFED, theres a new utility to take on the initial delay when DOS calculates the free disk space on a large hard drive.

This is something all of us with jrIDEs have had to deal with and one of those little annoyances that I'm happy to see go away.
Disclaimer: I haven't tried this yet. Way too much on my plate at the moment.

I just tried it out on my DOS 5 jrIDE unit and works great ... I added freesp.com to autoexec.bat and that's it!

Thank you for sharing!
