If backup copies of files are stored in the \DELETED subdirectory by
the M Editor, typing "undel" should bring up a listing of backup
copies. However, if the C 6.00 version of UNDEL.EXE is used, the
following message will be displayed: "
0(0) bytes in 0 deleted files.
The C 5.10 version of UNDEL.EXE will successfully bring up a listing
of backup copies saved by either the M Editor or the Programmer's
WorkBench (PWB).
This problem can be reproduced by setting the text backup switch in
the M section of the TOOLS.INI file to "undel". After saving various
copies, backups are added to the \DELETED subdirectory and a listing
can be brought up by using the C 5.10 UNDEL.EXE. Using the C 6.00
version of UNDEL.EXE causes the erroneous message listed above to be
displayed. This incompatibility was caused by adding OS/2 version 1.20
filename support to UNDEL.EXE and EXP.EXE.
As a workaround, rename the C 5.10 UNDEL.EXE to UNDEL51.EXE and the C
6.00 UNDEL.EXE to UNDEL60.EXE.
