I've got a real strange problem here.  I've got a file that I cannot remove.  It is one and a half megs, and I'd like to get rid of it.

Typing the ls command I discovered that I have a file created yesterday called -g.  I can't read it with more, or remove it with rm because these commands take the file name to be an option, and so I get the error message that I've used an invalid option.

I can only guess how this file was created.  Yesterday I was trying to figure out how to use tar to backup files to more than one floppy, and before I discovered the M option, I was experimenting with the g option; -g.  So I guess that must be how I ended up with a file called -g.

Can anybody tell me how I can get rid of this file?

Thank you.

Bob
