Hello,
I'm using tcsh (6.10) under cygwin 1.1.8 and everything runs nicely.
However, when I try to delete >5500 files using rm *.txt I get
"/usr/bin/rm: Invalid argument". It seems that the shell or rm can't
handle so many files.
Is this a known problem and what can I do about it ?
Many thanks,
Axel
