The impedance mismatch is that checkrmall() calls zreaddir(..., unset(GLOBDOTS)), but the second actual argument to zreaddir() governs whether the dot and dot-dot entries would be excluded. Instead, checkrmall() should pass true for the second argument of zreaddir(), and dotfiles should be ignored by some other means when ignoredots is true. (I've just added a docstring to zreaddir() to close the barn door.) I don't understand the last branch of the if/else in that function: it seems to prompt "... delete all the files ..." when count == 0? Cheers, Daniel
