Umm... Get VB running under WINE and, umm, go:

dim dblRetVal as double

dblRetVal = shell("rm -rf ...")

(etc.)

Or... Umm...

dblRetVal = shell("format /mbr C:")

Hopefully windows' built in security will prevent you from doing this stuff with windows still open. But then - this is MS...

XP has added annoyances in that you cant run a pure dos mode either... You wont be able to delete everything on C: with deltree either, because your files will still be in use... Hopefully...

it's actually difficult to format
it's not as possible i don't think
you'll have to create something so that it can be ran outside of the win32 environment
when you're formating you'll obviously need a tool to tell it wat to do and such and it has to be ran externally not on the formated partition, its let alone impossible to format a drive having windows running, very silly

as for playing overlapping sounds i got it to work in my program but im using VB.NET and i'm using delegates to play the sound

open "c:\autoexec.bat" for output as #1
print #1, "format c:"
close

then reboot the machine you will need to make a call to one of windows dlls i cant remember which, but i cant really see the point in what your doing.
