- LHDEL 1.0 copyright (c) Duane C. Hendricks 1989. All rights reserved.
- For personal use only. May not be sold.
-
- Purpose:
- LHDEL's purpose is to delete all the files in a directory or
- subdirectory which are included in a LHARC archive (either self
- extracting or non-self extracting).
-
- Requirements:
-
- For LHDEL to work properly, LHARC must be in the current directory or in
- the path. The version of LHARC you are using must be one which displays
- the contents of the archive when the command LHARC filename is given.
- LHDEL was developed and tested using LHARC 1.13c.
-
- Command Syntax:
-
- If the archive is non self extracting (i.e., .lzh extension): lhdel
- filename or lhdel filename.lzh. If the archive is self extracting (i.e.,
- com or exe extension): lhdel filename.com or lhdel filename.exe
-
- Technical Notes:
-
- LHDEL creates a temporary file named "dchendri.cks" to store filenames.
- Before LHDEL creates the temporary file, it checks to see if a file by that
- name exists. If such a file exists, LHDEL aborts. LHDEL use the DOS
- command "del" to delete files. If desired, LHDEL can be patched using
- a program such as Norton Utilities or Professional Master Key to change
- the temporary filename or the del command. I make this suggestion
- because some people have patched command.com to use era rather that del
- in an effort to protect against viruses.
