bleah. why remove them? swoosh them into a temp directory where you can delete them with prejudice.
but this is a much better idea: find out what the file command says about
your fortran OS/2 executables. say,
$ file bleeb.exe
fortran OS/2 hoopla executable blahblah
then use something like:
find / -exec file \{} \; | grep 'hoopla executable blahblah'
you can use this to get all the files, and put them in a holding area. or
you can delete them outright. whatever you want to do.
