DELTREE DOS command for Win 2000

DELTREE.EXE is not supplied with Win 2000.
So, if you have a Win 98 machine, you can copy it
to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\ and it will work!

W2K uses rmdir instead of deltree.
RMDIR [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path
RD [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path
/S Removes all directories and files in the specified directory
in addition to the directory itself. Used to remove a directory
tree.
/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to remove a directory tree with /S

Thanks Ron for the RMDIR response, that helped.
While we are talking DOS commands, I noticed that
the Win 2000 "COPY" command is limited to 8
character wide file names and the "DEL" command is also.
However, XCOPY will work with "long file names".
