 |  | You can change the size of a file with this program.
This can be very handy, if you use the SmartFileSystem, and can't delete files anymore
from a partition formated with SFS (you get a "disc is full" error).
This is a known bug of the SFS (v1.84) with nearly full partitions.
You only have to change the size of any file on such a partition and voila
you can delete files from it again!
For example: SetFileSize <sfs-part:filename> 10
This command reduces the filesize of the file to 10 bytes, after that you can
delete this and any other file you want!
I have to thank here Neil Williams for the info that truncating files helps!
THANK YOU!
