    PurgeDELDIR - Purge the .DELDIR of a PFS formatted
    partition of all its entries.

    Defaults to deleting 32 entries (the standard for
    PFS v2) but a different value can be specified on
    the command line, which is useful to users of PFS v3.

    PurgeDELDIR has been designed and programmed
    by Giles Burdett in 2000.

Usage:

        Copy the command to C:

        Usage: PurgeDELDIR DEVICE/A, SLOTS/N

        Example:

                  PurgeDELDIR Work:

                  will remove the 32 entries from the .DELDIR on Work:




                  PurgeDELDIR Work: 99

                  will override the in-built default and remove
                  99 entries from the .DELDIR on Work:
                  (Use this for PFS v3)



Notes:

        Source code included. Compiled with StormC v2 demo.
        Take a look at the source if you want to recompile it
        with a new default value. Look for the totally
        unsubtle hint...!

Known bug:

        The entries in the .DELDIR that PurgeDELDIR creates
        sometimes have a couple of strange symbols prepended
        to the file name. As far as I can tell this is completely
        harmless, but I would still like to find this bug and
        kill it as a matter of principle!


Disclaimer:

        Use this program at your own risk! Loss of data, loss of
        hardware, loss of hair, loss of pretty much ANYTHING is
        your problem, and I won't be held responsible! :)
