The problem is that when you glob, the names come out with the high order bit turned off -- but find doesn't pull this stunt. So, if you can come up with an expression you can pass to find, you can say find -name-exec rm -f {} \; and get rid of it. Of course, if there's no way to glob it (all the chars are funny, say control chars), this won't work. At this point, I'll endorse the dired program which appeared recently in net.sources -- it's great for this kind of bogosity. Chris Kent, Purdue CS
