Current Version: 4.54.0.1
'di' is a disk information utility, displaying everything (and more) that your 'df' command does. It features the ability to display your disk usage in whatever format you prefer. It also checks the user and group quotas, so that the user sees the space available for their use, not the system wide disk space.
It is designed to be portable across many platforms. Great for heterogenous networks.
'di' now includes a Tcl interface and a Perl interface.

Neat program, compiled first time, no errors, and it works great. (SR 1995)
Hi! I use your "di" program. It is great! Now I can have consistent reports of disk usage no matter what platform I am on. I use it on HP-UX, SunOS, IRIX, Ultrix, so far. Thanks a lot.
Great tool. We find it far more functional than even GNU df. Keep up the good work..
...thanks for writing and maintaining di. Its a really nice alternative to df, its what df largely should be. (GB 2011)
nice utility, thanks! (PM 2011)
Thanks for this nice tool, much better than df. (SH 2011)
