Joe has just finished writing a tool that will check AFS quota for users,
we are beginning to test it. The tool is called CheckQuota, Joe's
instructions for testing are the following:
"...you should be able to access the program by typing "checkquota" at a
command prompt (or Start->Run). If you type "checkquota.html", you will
bring up the associated documentation (also available by clicking the Help
button from CheckQuota itself)...Please test this program in your
environment and get back to us (pismere-bugs@mit.edu) if you encounter any
trouble. Thanks!"
