NAME
     dosrm - delete MS-DOS files

SYNOPSIS
     dosrm a:dosfile ...

DESCRIPTION
     dosrm deletes one or more MS-DOS files from an MS-DOS floppy disk.
     Full path names must be specified for the files to be deleted. Note
     that there is no protection against the unauthorized deletion of a
     file, and deleted files cannot be retrieved.

     a:
     A:   As in DOS conventions, a: or A: designates the disk drive via
          which the MS-DOS floppy disk is addressed. This string must be
          prepended to each DOS path name. a: or A: addresses the first
          floppy disk drive. If a second drive exists, it may be addressed
          as b: or B:.

     dosfile
          Name or path name of the MS-DOS file in the MS-DOS file system.
          The use of wild cards (*, ?, [ ]) is permitted.

LOCALE
     The LCMESSAGES environment variable governs the language in which
     message texts are displayed. If LCMESSAGES is undefined or is defined
     as the null string, it defaults to the value of LANG. If LANG is like-
     wise undefined or null, the system acts as if it were not internation-
     alized.

     The LCALL environment variable governs the entire locale. LCALL
     takes precedence over all the other environment variables which affect
     internationalization.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1

     You want to delete the MS-DOS file "HORSES".

     $ dosrm a:horses

     Example 2

     You want to delete the MS-DOS file with the path name "BODY/HEART"
     from the MS-DOS floppy disk.

     $ dosrm a:body/heart

     Example 3

     You want to delete the MS-DOS files "MAIL", "TELLER" and "TOKEN" from
     the MS-DOS floppy disk.

     $ dosrm a:mail a:teller a:token

     Example 4

     You want to delete the MS-DOS files with the path names
     "FLOWERS/CLIVIA", "ANIMAL/MAMMAL/HEDGEHOG", and "STONES/GRANITE".

     $ dosrm a:flowers/clivia a:animal/mammal/hedgehog a:stones/granite

NOTES
     If a directory contains more than 254 file names, the dosrm command
     may produce the error message "Error - too many filenames". In this
     case, the user must limit the number of file names involved (for exam-
     ple by not using "*.*").
