DELLALL.EXE Version 1.10 is a very easy to use utility to get rid of unwanted files. Are you tired of all those BAK files lying around on your hard disk, what about TMP files that never got erased? DELALL.EXE is the ultimate solution to get rid of all those files and files of the same type at once. Very easy to use and behaves like the familiar DOS commands. This version erases files with normal atrributes. DELALL.EXE is like DELTREE.EXE file combined with DEL command that come with MS-DOS, but better. To print this file, which I highly recommend because it is a lot easier to read, from the command line just type : COPY DELALL.DOC PRN Thank you for downloading and trying out this program. ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Written by Omer YALHI Shareware Documentation Page 2 DELALL Version 1.10 OY Utilities for DOS ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ┌──────────┐ │ Switches │ └──────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── /P Prompt to confirm the deletions. You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the file. You will have 3 choices (Yes/No/All): Y - delete the file A - delete the file and disable confirmation for rest of the files. N - do NOT delete the file. /S Program will delete all of the specified files in current directory and its sub-directories. /D If the directories that are being searched are empty they will be removed but only if at least a file was deleted from the directory. This switch, when passed a '*.*' filename, makes DELALL to work like DELTREE command comes with MS-DOS. /U If the directories that are being searched are empty they will be removed. /I In the unregistered version this switch displays the registration information. In the registered version it will show information on how to contact about the program. ■ Switches may be overridden by prefixing any switch with - (hypen). ■ With file names wild cards, such as * and ?, are allowed. ■ Best place to put DELALL.EXE file is your DOS directory which is in your path. That way this file could be accessed anywhere without the need of a change to a directory in which DELALL.EXE resides. To copy, simply type COPY DELALL.EXE C:\DOS, assuming C is the drive where DOS directory resides. ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Written by Omer YALHI Shareware Documentation Page 3 DELALL Version 1.10 OY Utilities for DOS ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ┌──────────┐ │ How do I │ └──────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ■ delete all of the BAK files in my hard disk which is C drive? DELALL C:\*.BAK /S ■ delete all of the BAK files in my hard disk and delete the current directory and all of its directories if they contained BAK files and are empty? DELALL C:\*.BAK /S /D ■ delete all of the BAK files in my hard disk and delete the current directory and all of its directories if empty? DELALL C:\*.BAK /S /U ■ do all of the above without any confirmation? Just add /-P to the command line. Such as : DELALL C:\FILES\*.BAK /S /U /-P this would delete all of the files with the BAK extension in C:\FILES directory and all of its subdirectories, deleting all of the empty directories on the way. ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Written by Omer YALHI Shareware Documentation Page 4 DELALL Version 1.10 OY Utilities for DOS ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ┌────────────────┐ │ Error Messages │ └────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────── ■ File not found......: You did not give a file name to delete. Don't forget this version does not support direct directory deleting. If you would like to delete a directory and all of its files you would have to write : DELALL C:\DIRECTORY_NAME\*.* /D ■ Path not found......: You gave a directory name that does not exists. Check the directory name. ■ Invalid switch......: The switch passed is not supported. Look under SWITCHES to see which are available. ■ Too many parameters.: You probably entered two different paths, this version only supports one specific path. ■ Too few parameters..: You probably forgot to give it a file name. ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Written by Omer YALHI Shareware Documentation Page 5 DELALL Version 1.10 OY Utilities for DOS ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ┌─────────────┐ │ Other Notes │ └─────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This is an unregistered version of the program, and when it is run it will say so. You can run this program around 30 times. After that you will be prompted to register and it will wait for a key to be pressed. Then normal operation will continue. A lot of work was put in to the program so please register for US$12.95 if you use it. Program is self-eraseable, if you do not like it just type : DELALL C:\DELALL.* /S /D /-P Where C is your drive that DELALL.EXE is in. How many programs are that easy to get rid of nowadays? When registered, you will receive the registered version and a FREE FILE FINDER plus the FREE UPGRADE when it is available. You have to register by June 1 1994 for free upgrade and free file finder. To register simply print and fill out the DELALL.FRM file included with this compressed file. With your support I'll be able to develop applications like this one and more. Windows versions of both programs will be available soon. Please feel free to add your comments and/or suggestions to the form provided. If you are not interested in this version but would like to be informed of the next version, or windows versions send the DELALL.FRM via e-mail or regular mail or fax and do not include any checks. Here are some more utilities from OY Utilities : File Finder........: Searches for files, great utility to find missing files Double File Finder.: Searches for duplicate files, great utility to free up some disk space. ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Written by Omer YALHI Shareware Documentation Page 6 DELALL Version 1.10 OY Utilities for DOS ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ┌─────────────┐ │ Legal Notes │ └─────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────── DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY THIS SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENT ARE SOLD "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES AS TO PERFORMANCE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.
