It can also mean: - set the status in the directory entry to 'deleted' - set the status in the file header to 'deleted' - set the file length (wherever it's held) to -n, which is the same as: - set or clear some bit some place - any of the above, and fill the space with some character or random set of values - any of the above and reorganise the disk to use the freed-up space etc. etc. etc. -- Cheers, Bob
