Well, no version of delete, rm or wildcards worked.  I had to go
in with a sector editor and remove the entry from the directory block.


Sigh.  Where's fsck when I need it?

DiskX guru's my system (A2000, rev 4.3, GVP II Scsi + 4Mb) whenever
I try to search for an ascii string.  Does this happen to anyone else?
