(TPFUG/Visa) The toolchain should support creating an OLD/TLD deck containing a list of file system files to delete from TPF

Currently, bldtpf supports being passed a loadfile in order to create a deck containing a list of file sytsem files to load. However, there is no support to be able to create a deck that @@DELETEs a list of file system files. The load deck has to be manually updated with @@DELETE in order to remove any file system files from TPF. Manual updates are inherently more error prone than automated support.

The toolchain should provide a means of creating an OLD or TLD deck that can include a list of file system files to load AND/OR a list of file system files to @@DELETE.


Suggestions include supporting a maketpf.delfile that contains the list of file system files to @@DELETE.
