Killdir is a program which I acquired from the simtel archive at WSMR.MIL. It will delete non-empty directory trees. Anyway, I was running it on a deep but sparsely populated directory tree when it failed due to a stack crash. Well, something funny has happened to my disk. The only symptom so far is that when I try to use any of various norton utilities, norton replies that it can not be run on a network or subst'ed drive, ie as if I had created a subst'ed drive, S:, had logged S: as my drive and was then trying to run Norton. But I was on C:, the same drive that these norton utilities had run on before the most recent attempt at using Killdir. -- Chris Kushmerick kushmer@bnlux0.bnl.gov kushmerick@pofvax.sunysb.edu

I forgot to mention in the original article that the problem persisted after a reboot and after a power down / power up cycle. -- Chris Kushmerick kushmer@bnlux0.bnl.gov kushmerick@pofvax.sunysb.edu
