Summary: Need to kill lots of files w/ unrelated names from time to time

(This is being posted for a friend who is sysadmin for a system running
 UniSoft's 68000 version 7 and who has no net access.)

I need a script that will delete files throughout the system using a file
containing the names of files to be deleted.

Several application programs create temporary files for their use but fail
to delete them and it's eating up too much space. THe filenames have little
or nothing in common so using metacharacters is not practical. 

Currently, I have to go through each directory and delete each file singly,
which takes too much of my time. I would rather run something under cron
that would take care of this.

If anyone has a script that would do this, a copy would be most appreciated,

Thanx in advance...
