Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Alternately, the POSIX tools supposedly work...
[link|http://www.humanfactor.com/cgi-bin/cgi-delegate/apache-ML/nh/1998/May/0191.html|[link|http://www.humanfactor.com/cgi-bin/cgi-delegate/apache-ML/nh/1998/May/0191.html|http://www.humanfac...ay/0191.html]]

To add to my confusion there is a note about how to delete such files [CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, A:-Z: , COM1, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, COM2, COM3, COM4] under NT, so it must be possible for them to exist. It recomends (I love this) rm from the posix tools.

Presumably the permissions angle would be handled the way BP suggests.

GL.

Cheers,
Scott.
New posix makes sense because to posix hardware
is just another file which can be deleted. Now where and wtf are the Posix tools?
thanx,
bill

New POSIX stuff here...
[link|http://www.bantsug.org/Unix-NT/ntposix.htm|[link|http://www.bantsug.org/Unix-NT/ntposix.htm|http://www.bantsug..../ntposix.htm]]

[link|http://is-it-true.org/nt/atips/atips156.shtml|[link|http://is-it-true.org/nt/atips/atips156.shtml|http://is-it-true.o...ips156.shtml]] has some NT tips. This one (about deleting files like this) mentions the POSIX tools and the URL-like string to delete the file (mentioned earlier in this thread).

Good luck!

Cheers,
Scott.
New More POSIX Stuff
MS [link|http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q120/7/16.asp|recommends] trying posix commands as well.
