- This ReadMe is included because a lot of people don't read guides, but I feel this information is
- important enough to warrant a specific mention.
-
- This program offers the option to delete files in several ways, either individually or in batches.
- Pattern matching can, in some cases, be used to set a list of files to delete.
-
- THESE OPTIONS CAN BE DANGEROUS AND DESTRUCTIVE. Extreme caution should be employed when using them.
-
- Because of the way in which the Amiga can deal with shortcuts and hard links, it is possible for a
- single file to appear in two different directories. If one copy is deleted, so is the other (since
- they are the same). These links are transparent to GHelp, and you should be sure that you really want
- to delete a file before choosing any of the delete options.
-
- THE MOST DANGEROUS OF THE DELETE OPTIONS IS THE "DELETE DUPLICATES" BUTTON. This is found on the list
- of duplicated files after an index operation. GHelp only looks for matches in filename and filesize to
- determine if something is a duplicate. If the same file is added to the index twice, it will be
- reported as a duplicate, and using the "Delete Duplicates" option would delete your only copy of the
- file.
-
- GHelp is NOT a file manager. It's purpose is to give easy access to your Help files. These options are
- added for convenience only. I make it clear that I accept no responsibility whatsoever for your usage
- of these options. If you are not absolutely sure of what you are doing, don't use these options.
-
- Thanks for listening.
