I have a public-domain c program call rmfile which is interactive
and lets you either delete or rename files (including those with
garbage characters in their names).  I've never paid attention to
how it works, but I've used it and it DOES work.  It's about 246
lines of c source, and compiled on my PC6300 under XENIX V with no
trouble.  If there's interest, I'll post it to comp.sources or
something. Let me know if you want it.
