  Hello, Masa 

  I'd like to mention it is quite complicate under Windows since the name of those
files are a "pure" numbers, like "23"  "45" "12" etc.
  This entails one can not apply any reg expression to delete all of them at once but "*".
  Is it possible to supply any extension as well like "Cint". So I can remove them as follows:

                               del /tmp/*.Cint

   With my regards,
                                         Valery
