Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Syntax:  flagType RemoveFile( PFILE pfFile );
 
  Returns: True if successful, otherwise false.
 
  See:     DelFile, fChangeFile, FileNameToHandle, FileRead, FileWrite,
           fSetWindowWithFile, GetPfileFromName, pFileToBottom,
           pFileToTop, RemoveFile, ◄Using Files►
 
     RemoveFile closes the file specified by <pFile> by removing the
     file buffer and all its data from memory.
 
     RemoveFile is the opposite of AddFile. AddFile initializes a new
     buffer; RemoveFile deletes an existing buffer. RemoveFile does not
     force the writing of the file buffer to disk. You should always do
     a FileWrite before doing a RemoveFile unless you want to discard
     any modifications done to the file.
 
     NOTE: RemoveFile does not delete the file from disk. It only
           cancels the knowledge PWB has of the file.
