Hmm... didn't you get my attached file with source either? Michael says he
never got it but it was attached according ot my out-box. Or where you just
to lazy to test Arachne without scrollbars then since you needed to compile
it? ;-)

Actually I thought you would like it, apparently I didn't remember how the
DOS versions behave correctly.

Really, how?

I thought that earlier versions didn't ask. They don't if you do "copy
file1 file2" and file2 exists right? Pipes (|) existed in 2.0 according to
my documentation (dosref) so you should be able to use it, otherwise you
could always use "del *.*<answerY" and have a file with a 'Y' in it called
answerY. Still none of these are good sollutions IMO, perhaps we should add
a small delete utility? Another option would be to use:
"for %%d in (*.*) do del %%d" instead of "del *.*" since that wouldn't ask
us any questions (except in 4DOS IIRC).
