Function 41h Delete A File From A Specified Subdirectory (UNLINK)
entry AH 41h
DS:DX pointer to ASCIIZ filespec to delete
return CF 0 successful
1 error
AX error code if any (2, 5)
note 1) This function will not work on a file marked read-only
2) Wildcards are not accepted
3) DOS does not erase the file's data; it merely becomes inaccessible
because the FAT chain for the file is cleared.
4) 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.
5) Under DR DOS and DR Multiuser DOS, this function will fail if the file
is currently open
