Differences to CP/M plus:
Passwords and_ erasure of XFCBs are not supported.
Differences to CP/M 2.2 resp. DiCOS:
If any of the files to be erased is write protected, no files at all
will be erased.
All files matching the file name specified in the FCB will be erased.
The file name may contain question marks. If file attribute fS' is set,
only XFCBs are to be erased, Because EOS does not support XFCBs, this
operation mode is treated as a successful erasure, i.e., actually
nothing will be erased, but A and H are returned with zero values.
If one or more of the files to be erased is write protected, the erasure
function will be aborted. No files at all will be erased, whether they
are write protected or not.
