Hi ADSM-ers,

I have the following problem on several of my OS/2 clients.
In more than one user directory there are files located with the name LPT1or 
LPT2. Those files ADSM cannot back-up. It reports the following error:

10-09-1996 02:30:53 ANS4228E Sending of object 'F:\DATA\XS\MEMO\MEMO95\LPT1' 
failed
10-09-1996 02:30:53 ANS4089E File not found during Backup, Archive or Migrate 
processing

This is probably because it's not so much a file. Probably OS/2 sees it as a 
device.
I went to the 'F:\DATA\XS\MEMO\MEMO95' directory and did a DEL LPT1 command.
The following error was returned:

\DEV\LPT1
SYS0003: The system cannot find the path specified.

Where the \DEV\ comes from I don't know, there is no such directory!
The users cannot remember how they created those files.
Has anybody seen this before or does anybody know how to delete those 'files'?
Thanks in advance for any reply!
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
