	List, how can i remove 25,000 files from a unix directory ??
	if i try rm -f * it returns 
	"ksh: /usr/bin/rm: 0403-027 The parameter list is too long"

	if i give wild card it would take too long....
	it's not a separate file system so i cannot unmount and remove the

FS.

        TIA         rahul
