SYMPTOMS
========
If you use the DELTREE command to delete a directory that has any of the four
MS-DOS file attributes (archive, read-only, system, or hidden) set, DELTREE
incorrectly identifies the directory name as a filename when asking for
confirmation. For example, if you delete the subdirectory TEST with the
following command
deltree c:\test
DELTREE responds with:
Delete file "test"? [yn]
This problem does not affect the result; DELTREE still deletes the subdirectory
as directed.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS versions 6.0, 6.2, and
6.21. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it
becomes available.
