Would somebody out there please write up a shell- or C-program with the following function: 1. Search through the files in the .../net.suicide directory for articles containing the character string "From:[...]!bimmler" , where [...] is a string of any characters 2. remove any such file(s) from the directory. Please post it to either net.sources or net.suicide. It will save us all a lot of wasted time.
