' A Utility to Delete all those disk eating .bak Files.
' You can load it as an accessory by changing the .AMOS to .acc
' The program is fully documented but this is provided in case
' you want to strip out the Rems to save memory.
'
' Note: For Safety, only .bak files are displayed by default.
' Other files can be shown or deleted by erasing '*.bak'
' from the Requestor window and pressing the Return key.
'
' Operating Instructions.
' Alter lines 40 to 42 to suit your setup, and run,
' Select any file and then Clik the Right Mouse button to show
' the existing free disk space, or the Left Mouse button to select
' the Drive, Directory and File from the File Requestor.
' The program will then display your selection and ask for
' confirmation, then delete it and show the disk space left free,
' and offer the option to quit or a further deletion.
' If no file is selected you will be returned to Edit mode.
'
' The following lines are provided to activate the file
' requestor, edit them to suit your Drive setup or Directory
' usage. Leave one active and 'Rem' or delete the other two.
'
F$=Fsel$("DF0:*.bak","","Kill a Bak_up prog")
Rem F$=Fsel$("DF1:Amos_Progs/*.bak","","Kill a Bak_up prog")
Rem F$=Fsel$("RAD:Amos_Progs/*.bak","","Kill a Bak_up prog")
'
' The program quotes to the screen the full path and filename selected.
' As this may overflow a screen line they are shown on seperate
' lines, viz:
Locate 1,3 : Ink 3,0 : Print " DELETE Program: ";Left$(F$,8);" "
Print " "+Mid$(F$,9)+" "
' You may want to alter the '8' or '9' to give a better layout
' so that a long filename comes on a seperate line.
'
' Control is by means of Zones and the one active is visually
' confirmed by its number being shown in the top left corner of
' the screen.
'
' Once a file has been selected, a RightMouse Clik will show
' the Free Disk Space without deleting the file; a second Clik
' will quit to Edit.
'
' After deletion the free disk space in bytes is automatically
' displayed, and a LeftMouse Clik will recall the File Requestor
' regardless of where the pointer is located.
' NB. This is the free space on the Disk in the Drive called
' by lines 40, 41 or 42 as above; not necessarily the one from
' which you delete a file, or the current directory disk, if the
' selection was changed from the Requestor.
