unlink() works fine apart from when trying to delete read-only files. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

This works fine on writable files but fails when trying to delete read-only files. How can I delete read-only files? Is there a function available to change the permissions?I thought unlink() did not work on Windows. Notes in the manual suggest this for Windows: system("del name.ext"); -- Lowell Allen
