RE: Deleting files

Win95 C (the last OSR release; command.com dated 8/24/96) does have it,
complete with /Y switch to suppress the request for confirmation on
subdirs.

Interestingly, Novell DOS 7 (the successor to DR-DOS 6, and the preferred
XyWrite platform at TTG) had an XDEL command that deleted all the files
in subdirs but--maddeningly--not the subdirs themselves. One had to
manually RmDir each and every one.
