dosdel

PURPOSE

     Deletes DOS files.

SYNOPSIS
     dosdel [ -v ] [ -D dosdev ] DOSfile


DESCRIPTION

     The  dosdel command  deletes  the DOS  file specified  by
     file.  Use the -v flag to obtain format information about
     the disk.

     File-naming conventions are those of DOS, with one excep-
     tion.  doswrite replaces the \ (backslash) character used
     to  separate components  of a  DOS path  name with  the /
     (slash) because the backslash can have special meaning to
     AIX.  dosdel  converts lowercase characters in  the file1
     name to uppercase before it checks the disk.  Because all
     file names  are assumed  to be  full (not  relative) path
     names, you need not add the initial / (slash).

FLAGS

     -D  device  Specifies a  device or file system  to use as
                 the  DOS disk.   If you  do not  specify this
                 flag the default device is /dev/fd0.
     -v          Writes  format  information about  the  disk.
                 Use  primarily to  verify the  identify of  a
                 disk or file system as a DOS disk.
