Copyright 1996-97, Vishwak Associates.
Prepared on: 6th February 1997. Version: 2.0.
Modified on: 7th July 1997.
=======================================================================
1. What is Delete'97?
Delete'97 is for deleting files from the DOS box, in Win95 and NT 4.0. 
It simply deletes the files and sends them to the recycle bin. In popular
opinion, this is what DEL command in MSDOS box of Win95 and WinNT 
should have been. 

2. Whats new in version 2.0?
- This version is NOT a revision - it is a complete rewrite. 
- In this version, we have employed only Win32 API calls. 
- We have improved/optimized the code - earlier users should find this
  version faster! 
- Long file names are accepted - just put them in quotes. 
- The recycle bin icon now refreshes after deletion. 
The next section tells briefly the new options avilable.

3. Differences/Enhancements over the DEL command. 
- As said earlier this program does not delete files permanently. It sends 
  files to the recycle bin instead. This allows you to recover accidentally 
  deleted files. 
- As far as we know, DELETE'97 is fully compatible with the syntax of 
  Win95/NT's DEL command. 
- DELETE adds two new options /a and /v. THANKS TO MANY OF 4DOS users who 
  suggested including a parameter to delete all files irrespective of 
  attributes. 
- Under NT, the DEL command accepts multiple file names as parameters, 
  but under Win95 DEL behaves like the older DOS command. Delete'97 
  accepts multiple file names/wild cards under both NT and Win 95. For 
  example you can specify 
  
	DELETE "C:\Program Files\README.*" Hello?.DOC *.BAK 

  to delete three different group of files. For details try DELETE.EXE /? 

4. Requirement(s): 
- Any machine compatible with Windows 95/NT 4.0. 

5. Tech. Info: 
- Delete.Exe is a Win32 console mode application. It is about 47Kb in size. 
- Written using Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 compiler under Windows 95 (OSR2). 
- Tested under Windows 95 and NT 4.0 - Server and Workstation. 

6. Is this the first version? 
No. The first version has been listed in Windows95.com for last several months. 
Lockergnome Windows 95/NT Distribution List also listed it in their 18th 
November issue. Dozens of users who have downloaded it have sent us their 
valuable suggestions. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU for your encouraging mails. 

7. How to install? 
Copy the file, Delete.Exe, to a folder of your choice. Then use "Delete" to delete
files instead of "Del" command. Make sure this directory/folder is in your current path. 
The program DOES NOT USE any of the MFC/VB4 dlls. 

8. What does it cost? 
DELETE'97 is absolute FREEWARE. Feel free to distribute. Please try to 
send me us e-mail
