HC X01-00

A new utility called HC (short for Header Count) has been added to the Downloads page. This utility gives you a count of the number of headers in use, and also gives you a count of the number of words that are free in INDEXF.SYS to store additional retrieval pointers. This gives you an idea of how many more times the index file can be extended before you hit the dreaded %SYSTEM-W-HEADERFULL error.

Only the number of used headers. The count of used verses unused words remaining to store retrieval pointers was the one I was really interested in here. Plus you get to see the source code! and potentially re-use it in your own automated monitoring programs! and free steak knives! ;-)
