Hi there

I recently had my hard drive crash on me in the middle of running a disk
test program.... consequently my HD is littered with files such as:

" QA DiskSpeed --"
 ^
 |
 +--------------- note the space.

I tried to delete them, but csh (version 5.13) won't recognize them, and 
diskmaster claims to delete them, but doesn't!

Any ideas???  The problem is NOT protection bits.
