what is eraser
- ------------
 eRASER is a slim, fast and safe utility similar to /XClean that will
 drop old files off your harddrive and free up some space..
 you don't have to run PCBFILER and search for old files to free up some
 space anymore..
 just run eRASER daily (or weekly) and no old crap will steal your diskspace..


usage
- ---
 just put eRASER in a event, in your logoff batch or wherever you want it..
 you can even put it in your logon-batch (i'd suggest to use the QUIET option
 there) since it is damn fast.. (check it out)
 call it like this:

 eRASER.PPE [[PATH] [DAYS]] <QUIET> <LOG>

 The first two arguments must be given in the specified order
 (first the PATH to scan and then the maximum age of files in days)
 the QUIET and LOG parameters are optional and can be given in any
 order.


the parameters
- ------------
  [PATH] : Must be the first parameter.
           Directory to scan for old files.  (ignores subdirectories!)
           examples: c:\pcb\amiga\upload
                     c:\pcb\console\upload\
 
  [DAYS] : Must be the second parameter.
           Files that are older than this value (in days) get deleted.
           You should not put 0 or 1 here ;)
           examples: 30
                     20

 <QUIET> : Must be the third or the fourth parameter.
           Suppresses screen output.

 <LOG>   : Must be the third or the fourth parameter.
           Generate logfile. (ERASER.LOG)
           All erased filenames will be written to logfile.



what happens?
- -----------
 eRASER will scan the specified path and remove any file that is older
 than [DAYS]

 example: !c:\pcb\ppe\eraser\eraser.ppe c:\pcb\confs\ibm\upload 30

          would set an end to the life of any file that is located in
          c:\pcb\confs\ibm\upload and is 31 or more days old..

 it does not touch your dirfiles in any way!
 if you want to protect files from deletion just set the readonly flag
 (ATTRIB [FILE] +R) - eRASER won't touch those files!
