System Requirements
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Atleast AmigaDOS 2.04
Standard AmigaDOS 2.04 'Delete' command in the c: volume
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Synopsis
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Provides an asl file requester front-end to the standard Delete
command. The user may multiselect files displayed in the requester,
then if the delete button is selected another window is presented with
all the selected files plus Ok, Cancel buttons to confirm the deletion
of the listed/selected files.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage
---------------------------------------------------------------------
dd [path]
Only accepts one argument. The user may enter an optional path/directory
to be display in the requester at startup. If a valid path is not
given then the current directory, from where the command is launched,
is displayed initially.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to a bug in the asl.library version 37.27, if you select a
directory for deletion, all the files will be deleted but the directory
will not since the asl requester doesn't properly release the lock on
it. So for now only selections of files should be made. Hopefully
the soon to be release AmigaDOS upgrade will correct this problem.
