- I believe (but am too lazy to look it up, and I'm certainly not going
- to create a test case) that DELETE VVR is supposed to delete the VTOC
- entry IF IT EXISTS, and delete the VVR entry IF IT EXISTS. My
- understanding is that the lack of one of those will not stop DELETE
- VVR from deleting the other, although I won't swear to this.
-
- It may also be possible to do something with DEFINE RECATALOG and then
- DELETE.

- Yep, it's another problem with VM, the OS for the 1960s. (Let's see
- if everybody has enough willpower to ignore this flame bait.)
