<storage, operating system> (GFR) An ITS and LISP Machine
utility to remove files according to some program-automated or
semi-automatic manual procedure, especially one designed to
reclaim mass storage space or reduce name-space clutter (the
original GFR actually moved files to tape).

only provably worthless stuff.
