In article <1991Jun5.203434.8397@hubcap.clemson.edu> tjmurr@hubcap.clemson.edu (Tom Murray) writes: I need a DOS executable that will recursively delete the contents of a directory, its subdirectories and the directory itself (you may recognize this as the function of the Unix 'rm -r' command.) Is such free for the taking by ftp anywhere? Please reply directly to tom@cs.clemson.edu. Yep. Even called rm and looks quite similar to the unix version. It's part of the gnuish ms-dos project (port of gnu software to ms-dos) and it's available on wuarchive.wustl.edu in mirrors/msdos/gnuish and I believe the file name is futilxx.arc. Quite a number of other files there as well. bruce -- Bruce O'Neel oneel@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov NASA/GSFC/STX/Code 664
