WEEDOUT V 4.0 (C) Gullible Cloud Software 1995,1996

Overview
========
This program helps you to get rid of unwanted or unauthorised files on any of
you hard disks. It will find up to 750 matches. Anything over 750 is discarded.
This is a compiler limitation, not a program limitation. Also, there is a limit
of 25 lines in any file specified by the -N: switch.

Please pass this file on to someone else if you think they might find it
useful. This program is free, but a small donation would be appreciated if you
find it useful.

It was written in Turbo Pascal 7.

Files Included
==============
WEEDOUT.EXE
WEEDOUT.TXT

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

-F:     The name of the file you wish to look for.

        Examples :-

        -F:RUBBISH.EXE would remove every copy of RUBBISH.EXE from the disk
         you ran the program from.
        -F:C:THING.EXE would remove every copy of THING.EXE from the C: drive

        Note : Do not use the '\' in the -F: parameter, you don't need it and
        it won't work !

-N:     Causes WEEDOUT to use the list file you specified after -N:
        This switch will override the -F: switch, so you need not specify the
        -F: switch. The same rules apply as for -F: (i.e. no '\') and also no
	'\' in the file itself.

-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 switch, WEEDOUT will default
        to showing messages, which is the equivalent of using -M:T or -M:TRUE

-C:T|F  Whether or not you wish to add comments to the list file when you run
        WEEDOUT. If you don't specify this switch, WEEDOUT will default to
        adding comments, which is the equivalent of using -C:T or -C:TRUE

-L:     Causes WEEDOUT to create a list file you specified after -L: This
        switch will create a list file in the root directory containing what
        the program found using the -F: or -N: switches.

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

0 - Normal operation.
1 - Page with a list of the switches above on it.
2 - Invalid switches.
3 - Nothing to do.
4 - Drive not ready.

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 - Learned some more Pascal <g>, took some switches off and got rid
            of the need for WHERE.COM, improved the speed of operation (the
	    program runs about twice as fast).

Version 4 - Put the -N: switch back on, added the -C: switch, and altered the
            operation of the -L: switch. Be WARY of the change in operation to
            -L: if you have used an earlier version of the program.
