unable to actually delete a file from any print queue.

* NOTES AND WARNINGS *
**********************
DELETES PRINT JOBS THAT ARE BEING PRINTED
-----------------------------------------
If the print job that QKill is to delete is currently being printed by a
print server, QKill deletes it anyway, without notification.
Last Option is valid
--------------------
The /L<ast> /F<irst> /A<ll> options are mutually exclusive, but QKill will
use whichever option is last on the command line.
For example:
The command...QKill /L/F.....will ignore the initial /L and will delete the
first job.
Determining the first/last job
------------------------------
QKill is designed primarily for those occassion you send a job to print, and
immediately realize that wished you hadn't done it. QKill uses a simple-minded
method to determine which job it is to delete. As it checks each queue, it
selects either the first or last job in order to print, and extracts the date
and time it was entered into the queue. It then uses that date/time to
determine it an entry in another queue was submitted before or after it. IF
PRINT JOBS HAVE BEEN RE-ORDERED USING PCONSOLE, QKill WILL NOT REALIZE THAT
THERE MAY BE MORE RECENT OR OLDER JOBS IN THE QUEUE THAN THE ONE IT SELECTED.
Using /E
----------------------
When you use the /E<veryones> option, QKill assumes that you are intending to
delete ALL jobs that have been submitted.
