Hi,
[please email me a reply as well as posting, thanx]

Is there a program or command from a vendor that will ZAP files on a
Netware 3.X system.

Zap as in the old program/command that would kill a file no matter
what.  We used it ( back in the CPM days??) when Delete said it could
not delete the file.

We need this when our Paradox network hits the dirt and we want to
delete  the PDOXUSRS.NET file.  Novell's delete wont do it, complains
the file's in use by X, Y or Z user.  Users that have crashed.  Users
we could bring up again much much quicker if we could ZAP that NET
file out of the water. (please dont reply about the dangers of this,
we know and have safeties in place)

Do you know of a Netware 3.X program (command line preferred) that
will ignore sharing issues and just delete the file anyway??

Thanks
