I think this must be up there with the bone-head maneuver of the year.
I accidently deleted a file call "[" and now I can't compile anything.
Being a newbie and all, I need to know what this file does and what
the best way to restore it.  

I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.5 on a 486 which I installed from the CD-Rom.
One of the problems I am faced with is that I now longer have a SCSII
CD-ROM player.  

Any help would be much appreciated.
