Killdir is a program which I acquired from the simtel archive at WSMR.MIL.
It will delete non-empty directory trees.

Anyway, I was running it on a deep but sparsely populated directory tree when
it failed due to a stack crash.

Well, something funny has happened to my disk. The only symptom so far is
that when I try to use any of various norton utilities, norton replies that 
it can not be run on a network or subst'ed drive, ie as if I had created a 
subst'ed drive, S:, had logged S: as my drive and was then trying to run 
Norton.

But I was on C:, the same drive that these norton utilities had run on before
the most recent attempt at using Killdir.
