Of course, adding an option like -r / -f, etc so the files get purged or adding interactive prompts is another way to resolve this, but I wouldn't invest too much time in this as it's a one-way street program and the target audience isn't too huge probably.. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
