First, you must have 'rm.exe' from the GNU Fileutils
(v2gnu/fil313b.zip), or an equivalent port of Unix 'rm'.  Then type the
following *from your DJGPP root directory*:

C:\DJGPP> rm -f @manifest/xyz.mft

I would be careful doing this, however, because there are a few
distribution packages that have duplicate files.  If you find anything
missing, be sure to reinstall it.  :)  Oh, and 'rm' used in this manner
doesn't remove directories.

Good luck!
