I'll take your word for it. I thought the idea was to get rid of the
EAs, not just fiddle with them. I didn't get that the /S would do
that when I read the help the first time and I still don't. Don't we
want the es data. sf to go away? Will NOT specifying a sf file cause
there to not be one? What cmd line would cause eautil to clear an
entire disk\device?
