rm /some/path/to/this/fiule/-.
or you could use the shortcut ./ meaning the current directory:
rm ./-.
this is a Frequently Asked Question. i recommend reading the FAQ

Hi,
Does anyone know why
struct servent *serv;

gives a warning err of incomparible pointer type?
I also can't get rexec to function. It compiles ok....
Thanks
