For a short help about UDEL, type 'UDEL /H' for an english help or 'UDEL /A' for a french help. ____________________ How to install UDEL for Windows ? _____________________ To install UDEL for Windows, you only have to copy files UDELW.EXE and UDEL_ENW.HLP to the same directory and add UDEL to your 'Utilities' group of applications in the Program Manager or to your application launcher configuration (Launch, METZ Runner or Desktop Helper, for example). _________ First list of new features planned in further versions __________ 1. A '/E' option (DOS version) or an 'Exclude' push button (Windows version) to precise a list of files or directories to leave undeleted. 2. The ability to launch the Windows version in a non-interactive mode with command line options like the DOS version. 3. For the Windows version, the ability to open a 'List of files to delete' file like in the DOS version with the /F option. 4. A true Windows 3.0 Help for the Windows version. 5. Once a list of files is present in the 'Files/Directories deleted' list box (list obtained with the 'List Only' button), the user should be able to select in the list those files he really want to delete.
