=============================
* Kill_Bak *
This little proggie is to batch kill *.bak files from all or part
of your hard disk. The usual disclaimers apply! It has been tested on my
hard disk, but you use it on your own at your own risk. The program has
only been designed to take 10 levels of directory structure, as GEM only
recommends eight (128 character path max. including filename).
If you require any modifications, drop me a line on either the
Holodeck BBS or Ad. Lib BBs.

* Usage *
If you do not give it any parameters (or rename it as a tos file
and use it from the desktop) it will delete all *.bak files from the
whole of the default disk (usually the one it is on).
If you wish to delete all *.bak files from a disk, pass the drive
letter as the only parameter (e.g. 'd','f:','a:','c').
If you wish to delete all *.bak files from part of a disk, pass
the path of the directory at which deletion should start.
All sub-directories of the specified path will also be checked.
(e.g. 'c:\work','c:\work\' will both delete all *.bak files from c:\work
and any sub-directories of c:\work).
For safety reasons, the program will stop if any file causes an
error on an attempted file deletion.
This program will not work with multitos (I think) as I didn't
want to think about attempting to delete open files. It is not
recommended to run this program while multi-tasking with file access. If
this or any other change is found necessary, contact me as
mentioned above. If anyone requires any other SMALLish utilities, drop
me a note to say what you want.
