I was not trying to vilify you on the list. I was merely stating that my
intended question was can I delete these files without reaping havoc? Not
how do I delete files. Im sorry if I came across wrong. Im having fun
playing around with James and I hope others would try it out as well.
As for cygwin, Im very familiar with it. emacs is my editor of choice and I
run the cygwin installation on top NT.
Eclipse is starting to get some of my attention though. Thats for another
list though :)

Where is the punchline IN MY JOKE.
The main idea was to help.
Why, because someone mentioned the use of the unix command rm.
Fine, I have had the same problem but with approx. 18000+ leftover files.
In the poosting I replied to there was NO evidence of a NT box involved.
Or is it only windoze users have problems?
However why should I care abot other fellow users/developers that have
problems.
Why should I mention things that might solve problems for others when the
result is
a slap in the face. And get myself mentioned in angry postings about how I'
doing the JAMES
project a disservice.
Maybe the correct answer was "use the explorer" or "start menu->run->cmd and
type 'del *' in the inbox".
That would be a joke.
Furthermore unix commands exists on NT. I use cygwin alot under Win98/NT/2k.
