ERAX.COM (v1.2) - ERAX is an extended erase program that allows
you to erase files in any or all user areas using ZCPR
drive/user syntax. Like ERAQ, on which it is based, it queries
you before each erasure. It has a no-query option for use in
batch files and when you're absolutely sure of what you're doing
(say, erasing BAK files). Since it is now reentrant (like
ABUSER, RN, XRASE) you can erase various groups of files without
reloading the program.
Format: erax [drus:][fname][ #] *,? OK
DRUS is the drive/user; if one or both are absent, current will
be assumed: a11:, 4:, c: A "*" in the user position allows you to
access all user areas of the drive: a*:, *: (assumes current
drive). If the colon is omitted only the current drive/user will
be accessed.
Wildcards are permitted. If you enter no filename, you will be
asked if you want to search all files in the current user area
(or on the current drive, if the "*" user option is used).
The "#" switch disables the query option. It must be the last
character in the line, and must be preceded by a space. To erase
all files on a drive/user area with no query, enter: erax [du:]*.* #
If you enter erax [du:] #, the program will ask if you wish to
erase all files.
To exit, type a CR at the ">>" prompt, as in ABUSER et al.
Examples: erax *:*.bak # kills all BAK files on current drive (no
query)
erax searches all files in current drive/user
and queries for erasure
erax b*: # will erase all files on B: (you will be
asked if you want to do this)
erax 11:t*.?Q? searches all squeezed files beginning
with "T" in user 11
