I am posting this for a colleague whose macII almost died yesterday of a
hard disk crash. SUM's guardian managed to restore the disk to working order
- it was otherwise unmountable. Hip Hip Hoorah!

But the file TMON has been corrupted. Error -43 File not found when trying
to access the file, and it shows up as something over 1000 meg in get info.
The problem is it can't be deleted or replaced.

How can this file be removed, short of erasing the hard disk and starting
over.

Thank you for your help.
