NAME

mdel - delete a MSDOS file

SYNOPSIS

mdel msdosfile [ msdosfiles... ]

DESCRIPTION

Mdel deletes a file on a MSDOS formatted diskette. Sub directories are supported with either the '/' or '\' separator. The use of the '\' separator or wildcards will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect them from the shell.

Mdel will ask for verification prior to removing a read-only file.

The environmental variable MCWD may be used to establish a current working directory (relative to the MSDOS diskette).

BUGS

Does not follow the MSDOS convention of allowing only one file argument.
