-----------------------------------<snip>------------------------------------
If the existing program does a "reset", it probably rewrites the
directory and resets the LSTAR to make it look empty. This would be very
efficient.
If there are many members, any method, even in assembler, that deletes
members one at a time, will potentially suck performace-wise.
--------------------------------<unsnip>--------------------------------------
That performance can be considerably improved if you delete the members
in descending sequence, from back to front of the useddirectory space
