You can pipe the output from 'ls -l' or just 'ls' through the copmmand 'cat -vet' to see any files with strange characters in
Code:
ls -1 | cat -vet

If you have problems removing files in a particular directory you can cd up a directory and do an 'rm -ir mydir' to interactively delete files within the directory. For example
Code:
cd /usr/mydir
ls -l
*produces rubbish output due to bad files/directories
cd ..
rm -ri mydir

The last command will recursivelt remove all files and directories from 'mydir', but will ask you to confirm each one. This may take some time if there are a lot of files and directories but it should work. Just dont delete anything you want to keep :-)

NAME
       genrbox - generate a RADIANCE description of a box

SYNOPSIS
       genrbox mat name xsiz ysiz zsiz [ -i ][ -r rad | -b bev ]

DESCRIPTION
       Genbox  produces  a  RADIANCE  scene  description of a parallelepiped with one corner at the origin and the opposite corner at (xsiz, ysiz,
       zsiz).  The sides of the box will be parallel to the three coordinate planes.  The surfaces that make up the box will be  modified  by  mat
       and  their  identifiers	will  begin  with  name.  The -i option can be used to produce a box with inward directed surface normals.  The -r
       option can be used to specify the radius for rounded edges.  The -b option can be used to specify the indentation for beveled edges.

EXAMPLE
       To produce a rectangular box made of wood with beveled edges:

	 genrbox wood box1 5 8 3 -b .5 > box1

AUTHOR
       Greg Ward

BUGS
       Because spheres and cylinders are used to construct boxes with rounded edges, a transparent box of this type appears quite messy.

SEE ALSO
       genrev(1), gensurf(1), genworm(1), rpict(1), rvu(1), xform(1)
