That was an analogy of what I'd like to do. When you install a djgpp
package with PKUNZIP -d how do you uninstall it. My analogy was a
little broken. :o)
I'd really like to:
DEL /s \djgpp\@list_of_files_in_a_particular_package (the MANIFEST
directory?)
What I mean is that the MANIFEST files seem to be a list of what was
installed in each package. Hmmm. I think 4DOS might allow file lists
like I want above. Hold on let me check...
Nope, couldn't find it in online help anyways. I think 4DOS can do
it, but I've never needed it before. Maybe something like:
CAT MANIFEST\XXXXXX.MFT | FOR %DELFILE IN (@CON) DO DEL %DELFILE
Hmm. I'll try that out if no-one comes up with something better.
Gotta love 4DOS. :o)
