			Hard Disk Saver

	You know that the only factors of hard-disks crashes are :
		- shocks
		- the age, for a disk it comes from :
			- the magnetic media looses its magnetic properties
			- the motor gets old.

	So a utility that would park your disk when they have power-ON but
are not requested to read or write can increase the hope of life of your
disk by 100 %. (twice the age)
	It's very interesting, especially in the case of a BBS running 24
hour out of 24 ! Think about it !

	This program can park all your hard disks, provided that you run it,
and that you have a XHDI compliant disk-driver. (AHDI is not compliant at
all) To know if so, have a look at your cookies, one should be named "XHDI"
if so.

	You must install SAFEAUTO.PRG in your \AUTO folder at any place, it
will Terminate and Stay Resident, so that the other GEM program can use it !
	About HARDSAFE.ACX :
	. you can call it manually (APP,PRG,PRX)
	. put it as an accessory (ACC,ACX)
	. launch it with a command line (GTP)
finally . send a VA_START message (refer to command line).

	The command line can be :
		- "park" to park all hard disks immediately.
		- "time=xx" where xx is the number of seconds of non-use before
		  parking the heads. (10<=time<=999)



			Now, disks, let's say "thanks" to Pierre LALOE
