I have a problem on a VAX 11-780 running VMS 3.2 that I hope one of you
will be able to help me with. There is a directory on the system which
has become corrupted. When I try to delete the .dir file the system tells me 
it won't because the directory is not empty. However, if I change into
the directory and try del *.*;* the system tells me no files can be found
because the .dir file is corrupted. I have poured through the manuals to
no avail. If someone out there can help me I would be very thankful.
