Axe V1.00a Comipile Date:02/02/1992
=========================================
Description:
============
Axe is a command line program that can significantly speed up
the process of removing directory structures. It allows the
user to quickly remove an entire directory structure with no
more than a few keystrokes. When a directory is Axed, Axe will
delete all files and subdirectories, then remove the directory
all together.
Features:
=========
-- Axe will remove all files/directories regardless of their
attribute. In other words, it does not matter if a file is
Read Only/Hidden/System, Axe will automatically change the
attributes to normal, then remove the file(s).
-- Axe can accept full path names from the command line. For
instance if your current directory is C:\APPS and you wish to
axe the directory C:\UTILS\TMP, all you need to type is:
AXE \utils\tmp <CR>
-- The easiest method is to make your current directory the
parent of the directory you wish to axe. For instance you would
like to remove the directory and all its subs and files that is
C:\APPS\MOREAPPS. Simply change directories to C:\APPS then
type AXE moreapps. Thats it!
Limitations:
============
-- Axe will not work Across drives. IE you cannot type AXE
d:\temp from the C: drive. You must first goto the D: drive,
then type AXE \temp.
-- As far as I can tell the only limitation that Axe has with
the number of nested directories is the one put forth by DOS.
DOS does not allow directory names to be more than 66
characters. For example, C:\APPS\WP\DOC would be 14
characters.
-- If you use AXE in a Novell network environment, remember
that to ensure success you must keep the following
things in mind.
A) You must have Full rights to the directory(ies) you
are about to delete.
B) Axe cannot change Network attributes, as they are
different that DOS attributes. It would be good
to check the attributes, before running AXE.
C) If any user has the directory you are about to
delete mapped as a search drive, AXE will NOT be
able to remove the directory(s). For the record
though, FILER will also not be able to remove the
directory.
