Oops ... should have checked that more closely before posting. Eric is
not the maintainer, of course. I've moved Eric's 1.02f into a subdir on
ibiblio, and I'll try to reach Raster to see if this can become an
official release of 1.02f.

Eric,
I've mirrored your DELTREE 1.02f at ibiblio:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/deltree/
I'll also update the LSM database.
Feel free to make an announcement on the FreeDOS.org page, if you want
it announced there.

Hi, Lucho pointed out that DELTREE got error 5 because it had
code which does if OEM ID is 0FDh and CX is 0 or -1, then
explicitly exclude the DIR attribute when resetting file attribs
in preparation of deletion. This code is triggered by 2035a as
it sets CX to 0, which is needed by 32RTM DOS extender. The -1
value marked VERY old DOS-C / FreeDOS kernels which needed the
special DELTREE behaviour to avoid directories becoming files
(oops)...
The solution is two-part: The http://fdos.org/kernel/ page has
kernels which ignore dir attribute access when you change file
attributes (although it is common and okay to just respond with
error 5, as 2035a does), and I have a patched version of DELTREE
(which also is a bit smaller, less than 3 kB UPXed) which works
with kernel 2035a. No reply from Raster about it yet, strange...
