Subject:   "^L" File, needs to be Removed

-rw-r--r--   1 bind  bind   -    552 Aug  8  2000 ^L

drwxr-xr-x  19 root  wheel  -   2560 Jul 17 17:20 ../

Can only be opened via (editor of choice) ?, e.g. pico ?

The file contains a zone file, from ages ago, but the original zone file is fine and
is still there.

Even after a quick secondary backup of the whole directory, I am hesitant to
perform a rm ? because the directory contains 100's of critical zone files.

Any safe way to remove it and why sometimes after an ls -la the file comes up
as ^L and other times ? and only can be opened when you specify ?

Thank you! :)
