<B>Cpmrm removes files from CP/M disks.</B>
<BR>
<BR>

<B>OPTIONS</B><BR><BR>
<DL COMPACT><DT><DD>
<DT><B>-f</B><BR><DD>
Use the given CP/M disk <I>format</I> instead of the default format.
<BR><BR>
For Apple II CP/M 80
users the disk image formats apple-do and apple-po are available. These
are DOS3.3 order and ProDOS order disk image formats respectively, and must always be specified
using the form <b>-f apple-do</b> or <b>-f apple-po</b>.
<BR>
<BR>
</DL>
<b>Example:</b>
<BR>
<BR>
The following example shows how to remove a file on an Apple II DOS 3.3
order cpm disk image:
<BR>
<BR>
<b>cpmrm -f apple-do exmplcpm.dsk 0:bhead.c</b>
<BR>
<BR>

<B>RETURN VALUE - Upon successful completion, exit code 0 is returned.</B><BR><BR>
This will likely only be of interest to programmers. In a Win32 system
the exit code can be trapped in a batch file as an "ERRORLEVEL" or as a
return value when run from another Win32 console program written in a
language like C.
<BR><BR>

<B>ERRORS - Any errors are indicated by exit code 1.</B><BR><BR>

<B>FILES - diskdefs - CP/M disk format definitions</B><BR><BR>
The diskdefs file is a plain ascii text file that serves as a database of
disk and disk image format definitions. It can be reviewed for available
CP/M formats and their names. For Apple II CP/M 80 users the disk
image formats apple-do and apple-po are available.
<BR><BR>
<b>The possible locations where cpmtools first looks for the diskdefs file:</b>
<BR>
<BR>
- Can vary depending on the preferences of the person who builds the
cpmtools binaries (executables) from the source code.
<BR><BR>
- The location is also installation dependent and the diskdefs file
may also have been renamed.
<BR>
<BR>
<b>If it's not found the current (work) directory is then searched for a
file called diskdefs.</b>
<BR>
<BR>
<b>On a unix-like system</b>, a <b>${prefix}/share/</b> style path
like <b>/usr/local/share/</b> is a possible place that cpmtools will first
look for diskdefs.
<BR>
<BR>
<b>In a Win32 system</b> sometimes unix-like shells like cygwin
are used to run cpmtools instead of Windows cmd. For those installations
unix-like conventions probably apply.
<br>
<br>
For cpmtools installations targetted at the average
Windows user who does not have a unix-like shell and uses the Windows cmd
prompt to run cpmtools there is no standard shared place that cpmtools will first
look for diskdefs. Pathed File names like <b>\cpm\diskdefs</b> or
even <b>c:\cpmtools\diskdefs</b> are possible.
