We here at the U of R have a real problem.  Seems we mananged to get a 
file to self-refer to the folder it is in.  I shall try to describe the 
symptoms.  it is impossible to remove, clear, throw away, zero.
When I do get info, the disk crashes with eroor 2.
When I use ResEdit, it claims to clear it, but the file reappears.
When opening it, I get a series of the the same file over and over again.
Will someone point me towards a possible solution?  I shall give information
as requested and required, to the best of my ability and software.
Thank you, and have a nice day.
