In Unix, I can use a single command to delete an entire file tree -- rm -r. In DOS, I have to delete each directory by hand.
Use the command deltree /y. Or any of the cool third party utilities, or the windows file manager which offers a true hierarchical view unlike the hierarchical view offered by the sun OS file manager.
DOS doesn't even have a make utility -- perhaps you should do without using make ever again, as DOS is obviously superior.
I wonder how I have been compiling my files all these years. I use make and nmake to do any non procedural task in DOS that involves file dates and file existence, not just to compile files. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | We have the right to defend ourselves | http://www.catalog.com/jamesd/ and our property, because of the kind | of animals that we are.
