[Coco] Nother question, deldir in a script this time

[Mark Marlette]

Gene,

We created a utility called kildir that is non prompting deldir in our TC^3 club one night many years ago.

Look for that utility on your drive. ??

It is in the distr of the SuperIDE currently, has been since day 1.

Of course, you better be sure, you want to delete. :)

Subject: [Coco] Nother question, deldir in a script this time
 
Specifically, how can I pass deldir the d character so when its in a script 
it doesn't interpret the next line of the script as garbage and abort.

I've tried deldir name <d with and without the <, but I've not put the d by 
itself on the next line.

Even though I can't format a floppy, not quite enough contiguous free 
memory I guess, I have managed to build a boot disk on a floppy, that when 
backed up to /sh, boots the system from the hard drive with the new 
bootfile.

Nitros9's backup is funkity doing that however, when it gets to the end of 
the floppy at sector 276, it starts reporting disk ID change for non-
existent sectors beyond 276, and has essentially crashed, stuck in a loop.  
When it got to 282 I hit the reset button & it booted right back up. Using 
the new bootfiles.

Unforch, the few /n descriptors I was able to pull out of the bootlist, did 
not free enough memory to format a floppy. OTOH, I am now booting from the 
hard drive WITH dw enabled.  I think that could be called progress, but no 
capitals please. ;-)

Thanks all who might know something about deldir in a script.



Cheers, Gene
