I have an Altos 2086 running XENIX 3.2f.  I had a problem show up recently
that defies all my attempts to fix.  What has happened is that a file name
in a directory has a null in the middle of the name.  The file is actually
the name of a directory.  The name used to be 'Doc', but is now 'D\0c'.
All the programs in the system now say 'D' is a bad file name.  Since I
can't seem to write in the directory, I can't change the null to something
else or get rid of the 'c' after the null.  Does anybody know how I can
get rid of this file name, or better yet, rename the file to a typable
name?  Fsck doesn't find anything wrong with the file, and I can't unlink
the file because unlink can't find 'D\0c'.
