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.


Thanks in advance,

	Dave

Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms.  I am a man of
substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids -- and I might even be said to
possess a mind.  I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to
see me.  Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is
as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass.  When
they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of
their imagination -- indeed, everything and anything except me."
