more on strange file names

[Damon Scaggs]

A while back there was considerable discussion about how to delete files
with names with the high bit set. Apparently the shell does strange things
with this bit and it is lost somewhere between the keyboard and the unlink.
If you know the inode of the file I think the following is the easiest way
to remove it.  Move to the directory it is in first:

	find . -inum (inode # of file) -exec /bin/rm {} \;

Certainly this is better than clri followed by a fsck.  find won't play
games with the top bit.  Just hope the file isn't in / !
