Explanation
What ALLDEL will do, is delete all files of <filespec> on the entire
disk, and give you a listing of the directories the files were in.
As of this writing, there have been no reports of any hardware or
DOS incompatibilities.
Usage
ALLDEL <filespec> /d /n
There MUST be a space between <filespec> and the parameters,
and there MUST be a space between the parameters.
Parameters
/d : If specified, will prompt you for a drive other than
the default.
If not specified, then the current drive will be used.
/n : If specified, will NOT prompt you for an OK to continue,
as well as, will not pause after each screen. Be Careful!
The parameters can be entered in any order, as long as there is a
space between them. If both /d and /n are used, you will be prompted
for a drive, and then the program will continue without stopping.
The parameters MUST be lower case or they will be ignored.
Examples
ALLDEL *.old
Will ask if you want to delete all *.old on the default drive.
ALLDEL 12*.* /n
Will delete all files starting with "12" on the default drive
without prompting you for an OK.
ALLDEL swert.* /d
Will prompt you for a drive, ask you if you're sure, and delete
all files starting with "swert" on that drive.
ALLDEL jklf.* /d /n
Will prompt you for a drive, and then delete all files starting
with "jklf" on that drive, without asking for an OK.
