DESCRIPTION

These scripts are designed to delete *.tpr, *.trr (etc) files, and bzip2 *.edr, *.log (etc.) files in order to save disk space on the Folding@Home server RAIDS

BUG FIXES

2/15/2010 (VAV):  It's now robust with respect to any non-canonical naming for files (it throws an exception but continues).
