mdel - delete an MSDOS file
SYNOPSIS
mdel [ -v ] msdosfile [ msdosfiles... ]
DESCRIPTION
Mdel deletes a file on an MSDOS filesystem.
Mdel will allow the following command line option:
v Verbose mode. Echo the filenames as they are pro-
cessed.
Mdel will ask for verification prior to removing a
read-only file.
MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/'
or '\' separator. The use of the '\' separator or wild-
cards will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to
protect them from the shell.
The mcd command may be used to establish the device and
the current working directory (relative to MSDOS), other-
wise the default is A:/.
Mdel returns 0 on success, 1 on utter failure, or 2 on
partial failure.
