WEEDOUT V 2.0	(C) Gullible Cloud Software 1995

Overview
========
This program helps you to get rid of unwanted or unauthorised files on any of
you hard disks. It WILL delete everything you specificy REGARDLESS of the
attributes you have set on the file WITHOUT asking, so use it carefully.
Please pass this file on to someone else if you think they might find it
useful.	This program is FREEWARE, so do what you want with it - I don't
mind ! It was written (badly <g>) in Turbo Pascal (V 7.0). 

Files Included
==============
WEEDOUT.EXE
WEEDOUT.TXT
WHERE.COM

Switches
========
The program has a number of switches you can use :-

-F:	The name of the file you wish to look for. eg. -F:DOOM.EXE would
	remove every copy of DOOM.EXE from the disk you specified.

-D:	The disk you want WEEDOUT to scan. If you don't specify	this option,
	WEEDOUT will default to drive C (usually your hard disk), which is
	the equivalent of using	-D:C

-M:T|F	Whether or not you wish to see messages appear on the screen when you
	run WEEDOUT. If you don't specify this option, WEEDOUT will default
	to showing messages, which is the equivalent of using -M:T or -M:TRUE

-A:T|F	Whether or not you wish to delete all the files in the directory where
	the file(s) you specified are stored. e.g. If you specified DOOM.EXE
	as the -F: switch, and you set -A: to TRUE, then the program would
	delete DOOM.WAD, etc. as well as DOOM.EXE. If you don't specify this
	option, WEEDOUT will default to just deleting the file you specified
	with -F:, which is the equivalent of using -A:F or -A:FALSE

-N:	Causes WEEDOUT to look for the file you specified after -N:
	This file should be a standard ASCII text file, with each file you
	wish to delete on a separate line. This option will override whatever
	value you have given -F:

-L:	Causes WEEDOUT to create a list file you specified after -L:
	This option will NOT delete any files, it will just create a list
	file of what the program found from the switches you gave.

Errorlevels
===========
The program produces DOS errorlevels, so you can use the program in a batch
file if you so desire :-

0 - Normal operation.
1 - Page with a list of the switches above on it.
2 - Invalid switches.
3 - Nothing to do.

Other Info
==========
If you create a file called LEAVE_ME. in the root directory of your disk, then
it will override ANY of the switches you specify, and cause the program to end.


History
=======
Version 1 - original

Version 2 - now allows multiple files to be deleted by using the -N: option

Version 3 will enable you to delete directory trees as well, but as I am an
honest guy, I can tell you I haven't figured out how yet ! <g>. I'm working
on it. Also, I am trying to figure out how to put the WHERE.COM bit inside
WEEDOUT.EXE - bit tricky this bit !

I can be contacted on Compuserve by mailing 100130,2412.

Thanks to Frank Cavallito.
