   That seems a little risky to me, given what "deltree" does.  User-written   
   batch files tend not to work exactly right (the first time).   
      
   I wonder...  Has anyone tried taking deltree.exe from Win98 and running it   
   on an NT/CMD.EXE system? (*)   
      
   Note: I haven't checked, but I *think* that deltree was an EXE (and not a   
   COMMAND.COM builtin).  I could be wrong about that, though...   
      
   (*) Which, of course, really begs the question: Why *did* they remove it?
