Your respondent was right.  I always loose Flamerobin (the Firebird 
database manager) and have to reinstall it afterwards, which is why you 
see it reinstalling afterwards in some of my scripts.

But of course it may not now that we are only interested in /local/.

If we listed the directories like you have, and warned the user (Do you 
wish to continue, yes or no?).  Then the user can realise that, for 
instance, Flamerobin would be deleted before it's too late and update 
the script accordingly.

Regards

Steve.
