Kill a directory in DOS

[TerryRitchie]

Hold the phone, I'm still stuck on the QB64 in the Dosbox thing. Compiled QB64 programs will not run in Dosbox. Dosbox emulates 16bit architecture.

Ok. I am using QB64 for a directory delete function and it is compatible with QB1, 4, and 7 in Dosbox-x.

Does that make sense?? All I want to do is Kill Dir$

Nope, still doesn't make sense to me. The code provided by Steve will not work in anything except QB64. You need to write your code using QuickBasic 4.5 inside of DosBox. If Dosbox supports DELTREE then you can shell to that.

Even if QB64 did include a KillDir command as you requested what good would that do you in Dosbox? QuickBasic would look at that command and error.
