Quoth bckdrmn@netcom.com (Dave Gotwisner):
] For some reason some process is creating files called "com4" in various
] places on our Netware server.  Since COM4 is reserved by dos as a device,
] we cannot delete the files (or the directories that they are in).
] 
] What I would like to know, is how to get rid of these files, so we can
] clean up our disk.

1) How they are getting there: somebody is using 
   COPY <some file name> COM4
       instead of 
   COPY <some file name> COM4:

2) How to nuke them:  Use the program FILER on your server.
