1 | This archives contains the sources for five programs (well, actually, |
---|
2 | four, since one is a symbolic link): |
---|
3 | |
---|
4 | delete |
---|
5 | undelete |
---|
6 | expunge |
---|
7 | purge |
---|
8 | lsdel |
---|
9 | |
---|
10 | The programs were written at Project Athena in response to the problem |
---|
11 | which many novice Unix users have with accidentally deleting files |
---|
12 | they didn't want to delete (Hell, I've done it :-). |
---|
13 | |
---|
14 | I am already aware of quite a few improvements I could make in the |
---|
15 | code (I am fairly certain that there are better regexp matching |
---|
16 | libraries *and* better directory searching libraries I could be |
---|
17 | using.), and I will be making them as soon as I am done with my |
---|
18 | current project. I would appreciate hearing any suggestions you may |
---|
19 | have and/or accepting any patches you wish to submit :-) |
---|
20 | |
---|
21 | I've only compiled these under 4.3BSD on VAXen and IBM RT/PC's, as |
---|
22 | well as on Mach on the NeXT Machine, but I assume they should compile |
---|
23 | with minimal trouble on other architectures (does SysV have the |
---|
24 | re_comp and re_exec procedures for regular expression matching?). |
---|
25 | |
---|
26 | If you make it compile on another platform and you have to make |
---|
27 | changes, please send me patches. |
