Short:    Delete-replacement, removes assigns on the way
Author:   laser@stud.uni-hannover.de
Uploader: laser@stud.uni-hannover.de
Type:     util/sys

This is a replacement for the AmigaOS-delete command.  

Swipe is able to detect and remove assignments from directories that could
not be deleted otherwise (without removing the assign, which is tedious
work).

It is a follow up to my program ClearRAM and has an option to clear the
RAM-disk of all files and directories while leaving the system-directories
intact.  Useful for all who use their RAM-Disk quite often and are bored to
delete files by hand.

This version adds some new options; from the history file:

V1.128 (11.10.1998) -- Fifth Aminet relese

	· added some 'thank-you's to the documentation
	· new option BEEP added
	· new option PRESERVEDIR works like pre-v1.101 PRESERVE,
	  i.e. leaves a directory untouched while contents may be
	  removed
	· new option MATCHPATTERN matches files against a pattern,
	  useful for removing info files from a tree of directories
	· new option LEAVETREEINTACT exempts directories from
	  deletion
