  I'm looking for a utility to remove partitions from the partition
table of a hard disk. All the versions of fdisk for DOS and various
unix flavors will not delete a partition except their own, unless they
are using the whole disk. The exception is PC/IX, and that will delete
anything, but won't run on any display adaptor newer than CGA. I
occasionally install on my test system a version of unix which won't
deinstall itself, and I want to blow it away without losing the DOS
version I use for testing c.b.i.p submissions.

                            What an offer!!

  If you send me a copy of a utility to do this I will share it with
the world (after LOTS of testing) by posting in c.b.i.p. Fame and
immortality can be yours, at least for a moment. I can't post parts of
commercial packages, of course.

  As ever, please send submissions to ibmbin@crdgw1.crd.ge.com.
