Overview
--------
DLTDIR is a program utility which allows for the deletion of an
entire DOS directory tree structure and its contents. Over the
years, I have searched for an efficient and reliable way to perform
a mass-deletion of a directory and its contents, but failed to
find a satisfactory solution. Therefore, I decided to write a
program which would accomplish the task in a most efficient manner,
without all the overhead and unnecessary confirmation prompts
which are common to most DOS utilities.
General Notes
-------------
DLTDIR will delete all directories and files within the parent
directory, WITHOUT confirmation. Once the parent directory is
specified (either interactively or as a command line parameter),
the program will "do its thing" without further warning! It was
developed for use by those with a respectable level of computer
literacy, not for those who know "enough to be dangerous".
Help Information
----------------
Command syntax can be displayed by typing DLTDIR ? at the DOS prompt.
Restrictions
------------
DLTDIR supports all drive letters, and will check for the existence
of the directory on the current drive if no letter is specified.
As a built-in safeguard, DLTDIR will not allow the root directory (\)
to be specified as the parent, as this would result in the removal
of all data from the specified drive! Upon successful completion,
the total number of deleted directories and files will be shown.
Questions or Comments

Suggestions for enhancements and/or corrections are always welcome!
