I need a DOS executable that will recursively delete the contents of a

this as the function of the Unix 'rm -r' command.)
Is such free for the taking by ftp anywhere?
Please reply directly to tom@cs.clemson.edu.
Yep. Even called rm and looks quite similar to the unix version.
It's part of the gnuish ms-dos project (port of gnu software to
ms-dos) and it's available on wuarchive.wustl.edu in
mirrors/msdos/gnuish and I believe the file name is futilxx.arc.
Quite a number of other files there as well.
