You don't need a utility to do that, that's what those manifest files are
all about.  Using them, any DJGPP-compiled program that deletes files
given on the command line will do.  For example, use `rm' from GNU
Fileutils like this: 

	rm -rvf @manifest/fil313b.mft

This will delete all the files which come with fil313b.zip.  Neat, eh?
