   SPP is a Super Purge Program which gives you the full power  of SD/SDZD  in 
specifying files to be erased.   With one command you can erase  EVERY FILE ON 
EVERY DRIVE/USER, so be careful.  If you are running Z80DOS,  you can also use
dates to specify which files to be considered for erasure.

NOTE:  If WHEEL is TRUE and not set, this program WILL NOT EXECUTE, but merely 
       display 'SPP ?' and return to CPM.

   Current versions  of  SPP  automatically  adjust  for  any  block size  and 
directory length under CP/M 2.2, 3.0 or MP/M.  They can also handle any number
of disk drives or skip those not available.
