║ Introduction ║
╚══════════════╝
Welcome to KILBAK, Version 5.0, The ultimate file deletion machine.
By DEFAULT KilBak hunts down and removes ALL files (That you have
write permission on) that end in .BAK. You may also use any other
filename you choose. DOS wildcards are fully supported.
KILLBAK not only spans your entire default drive, but EVERY DRIVE ATTACHED
to your system.... Including networked drives, Its fully compatible
with Novell, 3Comm, Lantastic and many other standards. It even works
on PC-NFS and will span over a UNIX system from your PC. It will NOT
override permissions set on files by the network systems administrator.
You MUST have "write" permission on the files. It will also delete
hidden files. KILBAK has been tailored to meet the ever changing
needs of DOS users. With the increased popularity of CDROM and
network users. KILBAK will now allow you to "SKIP" or "OMIT" whole
drives from the search path. Most CD's are Read Only anyway and
very slow, so this will stop this wasteful search. (Some Optical
drives are read/write)
KILBAK - Version 5.0 Page - 2

║ File KILBAK Operation ║
╚═══════════════════════╝
KILBAK works on filename ONLY, so don't try feeding it whole pathnames.
It will span every drive/directory on your machine unless you tell
it to omit a drive(s). KILBAK DOES NOT PROMPT YOU, its automatic,
so be careful. It will also run in color if you have an ANSI.SYS
type driver loaded in your config.sys file. Control Break
checking is enabled/disabled based on if you have your "BREAK"
set to on or off.. "Break On" sets it on, "Break Off" sets it off,
"Break" shows it current status. See your DOS manual for more on
the command "break". Options c - z are case sensitve
Syntax is as follows:
KILBAK [/cdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz] [filename]
KILBAK - Program name, unless you rename it.
[/c...z] - Valid options (which drives are ommited)(case sensitive)
[filename] - Valid DOS filename (Wildcards OK <* & ?>) DEFAULT is *.BAK
Examples:
KILBAK
Removes all *.BAK on all drives
KILBAK /c
Removes all *.BAK on all drives EXCEPT C:
KILBAK /c /d
Removes all *.BAK on all drives EXCEPT C: D:
KILBAK *.old
Removes all *.OLD on all drives
KILBAK /c *.OLD
Removes all *.OLD on all drives EXCEPT C:
KILBAK /c /d *.OLD
Removes all *.OLD on all drives EXCEPT C: D:
KILBAK /c /g /z /d /e /f
Removes all *.BAK on all drives EXCEPT C: G: Z: D: E: F:
