Looks pretty neat, I'll add it to my snippets file if you'll finish it :) 
Only obvious things to me without trying it are:

 DB> Uses DOS;

{ needs a forward declaration of procedure Del_Work here, as Prune uses it,
and it uses Prune - say: }

Procedure Del_Work (P : DirStr); forward;

 DB> Procedure Prune(P); {Recursive file + dir delete}

Procedure Prune (P : DirStr);  { string, if ya druther - something, though }

 DB> Var Path:string;
 DB>     SR:Searchrec;
 DB>     F:File;
         Err : boolean;  { :) }

[...]

 DB> Procedure Del_Work(P);

Procedure Del_Work (P : DirStr); { .. }

[...]

 DB> I also don't
 DB> have Delphi(Not till they make it for OS/2) so this is DOS.

I wouldn't hold your breath, though it would be nice if someone did at
least a bit of a port, or added some units/whatever to provide access to
OS/2 stuff ..

BTW, I've got those patches here to BP7 to make it work with OS/2.  Only 16
bit, but it beats running it under DOS, I'm told .. waiting to find out ..

Cheers, Ian
