These files contain the source and executable for the dearc utility.
What the utility does is to delete files that have been extracted
from an arc file. You specify the .arc file, it searches through it for
the names of the files it contains and then deletes them from the directory
that the .arc file is in. It comes in handy if you like to keep the
arc format of a set of files around and extract them only when you need
them. I had trouble coming up with a name for the utility that made it
intuitivly obvious what it did. I dont think I have succeeded. IF you
have a better one please let me know. Please feel free to use and
abuse the code as you see fit.
This code is also an adventure for me in how to make a lattice
compiled routine as small as possible. I have cut the size in half from
V1.0 but lattice still adds a lot of fat at link time that I figure
I dont need. The next step will be to use _main() instead of main().
If you have any problems or suggestions on what else to trim or can get
it compiled significantly smaller, I would be interested in hearing about
it. Or, if you have MANX and can get it compiled under that I would be
interested in hearing about the size differences. I used lattice V4.0 for
this.
