MKZOMBIE COMMAND

Purpose:   Creates a ZOMBIE directory on specified disk.

Syntax:    MKZOMBIE drv[:] [cnt]

           drv - is a disk, where the directory will be created,
           cnt - the length of the directory in entries (the length of the
                 directory by default is 1 cluster)

Type:      External command

Note:
     See the description of the configuration command ZOMBIEDRV.

Description:
     The main purpose of the command is to create a directory for files to
be deleted. The command works in the following way:

1. A new directory is created on a disk with the help of this command. Here
   you can specify the length of a directory in entries, available in it.
   It defines size of deleted files queue. It is not recommended to specify
   too great a number, for it may lead to significant delays in System work.
   The default size - 1 cluster is enough.

2. The directive ZOMBIEDRV dsk: is written to the CONFIG.SYS file, where
"dsk" is a disk where you have created ZOMBIE directory.

     Instead of deleting a file, the System moves it into the directory
\ZOMBIE, previously created by the given command. When the directory is
completely full, the System will delete an old file and write a new one
instead. In case of lack of space for new data, old files will be also
deleted in the directory.  Names in the directory can be duplicated, because
the path is not saved during file transition. This can be seen by running
the DIR command. If you work with files, the first one will be processed in
this case. When running utilities, that check integrity of data on a disk,
error messages are likely to appear.
