Deletion of DELTREE

Comment: mdash;Generally speaking, standard command-line utilities have a presumption of notability.  At some point in history people noticed there was a problem that wasn't getting solved well enough with existing techniques, several attempts were usually made at a solution, a solution becomes standardized, and as the world moves on the solution can become obsolete.  That story is what ought to be reflected in the article, and for recent, well-documented operating systems like MS-DOS,  is not all that difficult to find.  The story here is pretty straightforward:  MSDOS introduced subdirectories without thinking through how they would be used, people complained about the problem until competing products started implementing solutions, Microsoft took notice and eventually (MSDOS 6!) added their own solution, and it got dropped as part of the transition away from MSDOS-based operating systems.  I didn't know any of that 30 minutes ago, btw.  I need to track down a few older cites and I'll then set about rewriting the article

Comment: There are numerous books which establish the notability of the topic - see ''http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Ua819DVKQPwC&pg=PA28 Windows Administration at the Command Line'', for example.  A general prohibition of content about computer commands does not seem sensible; it would be like forbidding content about mathematical operations and symbols.  If the current content of the page is not liked then there are obvious |alternatives to deletion such as merger with directory structure
