  7.      │ I ask for no money, and noone else should EITHER!  This program  │
  8.      │ has been tested enough to know there are no bugs, I hope!  But,  │
  9.      │ sorry to say, I'm not responsible for any damage this program    │

  38. │       Using DELDIR is simple.  Simply specify to DELDIR what directory      │
  39. │   is to be destroyed and DELDIR will do the rest.  Typing DELDIR with       │

  41. │                                                                             │
  42. │       Example use of DELDIR is as follows:                                  │

  44. │               DELDIR [directory]                                            │

  75. │                                                                             │
  76. │       DELDIR is prompt orientated so it's hard to screw up.  When DELDIR    │
  77. │   asks if you want to delete that directory Type 'Y'.  Capitalization       │
  78. │   is important.  Any other key or a 'y' will abort the operation.  After    │
  79. │   deleting the directory, DELDIR will tell you the amount of CURRENT free   │
  80. │   space available.                                                          │
  81. │                                                                             │
  82. │       So, pressing 'Y' at the prompt will delete all files in directory     │
  83. │   C:\DONE\T\D plus the directory D, and will end with this:                 │
