I guess the person who suggested
del .
slipped, it should have been DELTREE.
I notice DELTREE.EXE in my C:\DOS directory from MS-DOS 6.22, don't think I ever
used it. This directory still exists, so I could still use MS-DOS 6.22 by
booting from drive A and setting SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM... I subsequently
installed DR-DOS 7.03, and there is XDEL.EXE in C:\DRDOS directory. XDEL even
works from OS/2 Warp 4 VDM, is useful for deleting older Arachnes after
installing the current Arachne, and is much faster than deleting the directory
object via the OS/2 Warp 4 GUI, but I use XDEL only on DOS stuff. I also used
XDEL on an older trial version of New Deal.
