VDEL.COM
VDEL is a program which allows selective deletion of files.
INVOKING THE PROGRAM: VDEL may be invoked by typing
'VDEL fname.ext' at the command prompt. Wildcards may (and usually will)
be used, i.e. 'VDEL *.ASM'.
If any matching files are found, VDEL will display the name of
the file, and ask if it should be deleted. Pressing 'Y' or 'y' will
delete the file. Pressing ESC stops the program. Any other key will
leave the file alone and continue asking about other matching files.
I strongly encourage you to use VDEL instead of DEL or ERASE
when doing wild-card deletions. It is too easy to accidentally delete
a file you wanted to keep when using the normal DOS commands.
LIMITATIONS: VDEL should be transportable to any MS-DOS system.
