- Overview
- --------
- DLTDIR is a program utility which allows for the deletion of an
- entire DOS directory tree structure and its contents. Over the
- years, I have searched for an efficient and reliable way to perform
- a mass-deletion of a directory and its contents, but failed to
- find a satisfactory solution. Therefore, I decided to write a
- program which would accomplish the task in a most efficient manner,
- without all the overhead and unnecessary confirmation prompts
- which are common to most DOS utilities.
-
- General Notes
- -------------
- DLTDIR will delete all directories and files within the parent
- directory, WITHOUT confirmation. Once the parent directory is
- specified (either interactively or as a command line parameter),
- the program will "do its thing" without further warning! It was
- developed for use by those with a respectable level of computer
- literacy, not for those who know "enough to be dangerous".
-
- Help Information
- ----------------
- Command syntax can be displayed by typing DLTDIR ? at the DOS prompt.
-
- Restrictions
- ------------
- DLTDIR supports all drive letters, and will check for the existence
- of the directory on the current drive if no letter is specified.
- As a built-in safeguard, DLTDIR will not allow the root directory (\)
- to be specified as the parent, as this would result in the removal
- of all data from the specified drive! Upon successful completion,
- the total number of deleted directories and files will be shown.
