	I might try something like the following:

	find . -ctime +1 -exec rm {} \;

	This *should* work.  `-ctime' is for `create time', so the previous
command should find all files with a create time greater than (from the `+')
today.  If you wanted to remove all files not modified today, you could use
the `-mtime' primary.  For both of these the argument is given in days, and
if you precede the argument with a `+' it means greater than, and a `-'
means less than.  No `+' or `-' means exactly `x'.

	Hope this helps.
