DayDelete is email-ware, which means that if you like it I would really like to
receive a mail from 
you telling me so.
DayDelete is just a small util that will let you delete -x days old files from a
directory.

USAGE:
DayDelete <number of days> <source> [OLDER] [LIST] [QUIET] [ALL]

NUMBER_OF_DAYS - How many days old files to delete
SOURCE_DIR     - Source-dir
OLDER          - delete only older than x-days old files, delete newer is
default.
LIST           - Do not delete files, only list them.
QUIET          - Do not ask questions, this is smart to use in scripts where 
                 you don't want the program to wait for your response.
ALL            - Also check in all subdirs.                 

example:
daydelete 0 store:tmp/ ;This will delete todays files from store:tmp/.

daydelete 50 store3:tmp/ OLDER LIST ;This will list files in store3:tmp/ that
are 
                                     older than 50 days. It can be quite smart
to
                                     use the LIST switch to display the affected
files
                                     before you actually start deleting them,
and then
                                     afterwards start daydelete without the LIST
switch
                                     to actually delete the files.


This should be quite simple to figure out I guess, but if you are stuck feel
free to 
send me a mail.

DayDelete is part of a serie of smart little tools. You should also check out
the
following utils released by me (in aminet/util/cli/):

DayCopy
DayMove
DayList
SizeCopy
SizeDelete
SizeMove
SizeList


Version History:

1.14 Will now skip files when the filedate is in the future.
     Fixed a bug when using the ALL argument

1.13 Fixed a bug in the exit-routine.

1.12 Added ALL-argument that will make DayDelete check all subdirs.

1.11 Now uses raw-mode for input, so the input will not be put in the CON's
history.
     Reported by Stefan Schulz

1.1  DayDelete will no-longer display the deleted files if the QUIET switch is
used.
     Suggested by Gottfried Janik.

1.0  First public release
     Will check to see if the file is protected from deletion and let you decide
if
     if you want to un-protect it.
