Once you get past the "inside the box" Unix thinking you'll see the logic in this. So what if the process of deleting a file involves writing to it. That's not relevant.

It stops being idiotic as soon as you realize that _deleting_ a
file doesn't involve _writing_ to it in any way. It's not about UNIX,
it's about common sense - try thinking outside of the Netware box for a
sec ;)
