[ deltree 2.2.3 readme file ]



Have you haver lost a file or directory due to a erase error ?
Well i have, in fact i have lost a entire System, luckily it
was only my Windows System, so NO BIG LOST THERE :)

This Script simulates the erase procedure used by systems
such has Windows, Macs, *KDE*, etc, moving files or 
directories which are suppose to be erased into a RECYCLED 
FOLDER and from there on you can actually erase them or
Recover them into the original or a alternative PATH.

Main Features :
    - Fully Multi-User Script.
    - Users can have the RECYCLED FOLDER under the home directory
      [ $HOME/.deltree_recycled ] or under a common directory for
      all the users, but even with a common folder all the data
      is separated by the UNIX USER NAME, or the RECYCLED FOLDER
      can be a custom path different from all other users.
    - Fully Menu Configurable Script.
    - Build in Help.
    - Works in Text Mode there for it can run just about any were,
      ex: System Console, Telnet Network, Serial Console....
    - Can restore Files/Directories into the original or alternative 
      Paths.
    - Logging, and we can turn logging On or Off.
    - Support for [ rm ] syntax which enables you to use a alias
      that could run deltree each time that a user runs [ rm ].
    - Written with the intention of being most Portable, works under
      Korn Shell, and probably Bash Shell and HP-UX Posix Shell ( sh ).

Tested Systems :
    - LINUX  -> Works with out problems.
                The script was developed under Linux and there for  
                will run  there with no problems.
    - HP-UX  -> Will most probably work, but requires testing.
                Due to my experience in HP-UX the script was design 
                to work under it also, but i still have not tested 
                this yet, please fill free to try.
    - AIX    -> Works with out problems.
    - Other  -> Will probably work on any UNIX Machine, fill free
                to try it out, and please let me know !!.
