<p><b>Notes:</b>
(DOS 3.1+) wildcards are allowed if invoked via AX=5D00h, in which case
the filespec must be canonical (as returned by AH=60h), and only
files matching the attribute mask in CL are deleted.
DR DOS 5.0-6.0 returns error code 03h if invoked via AX=5D00h; DR DOS
3.41 crashes if called via AX=5D00h with wildcards.
DOS does not erase the file's data; it merely becomes inaccessible
because the FAT chain for the file is cleared.
Deleting a file which is currently open may lead to filesystem
corruption. Unless SHARE is loaded, DOS does not close the handles
referencing the deleted file, thus allowing writes to a nonexistant
file..
Under DR DOS and DR Multiuser DOS, this function will fail if the file
is currently open.
Under the FlashTek X-32 DOS extender, the pointer is in DS:EDX
<p><b>BUG:</b>
DR DOS 3.41 crashes if called via AX=5D00h
