- These files contain the source and executable for the dearc utility.
- What the utility does is to delete files that have been extracted
- from an arc file. You specify the .arc file, it searches through it for
- the names of the files it contains and then deletes them from the directory
- that the .arc file is in. It comes in handy if you like to keep the
- arc format of a set of files around and extract them only when you need
- them. I had trouble coming up with a name for the utility that made it
- intuitivly obvious what it did. I dont think I have succeeded. IF you
- have a better one please let me know. Please feel free to use and
- abuse the code as you see fit.
-
- This code is also an adventure for me in how to make a lattice
- compiled routine as small as possible. I have cut the size in half from
- V1.0 but lattice still adds a lot of fat at link time that I figure
- I dont need. The next step will be to use _main() instead of main().
-
- If you have any problems or suggestions on what else to trim or can get
- it compiled significantly smaller, I would be interested in hearing about
- it. Or, if you have MANX and can get it compiled under that I would be
- interested in hearing about the size differences. I used lattice V4.0 for
- this.
