This version of safedelete is UNREGISTERED.
This program was written by J.Reguera (c) 1994 ver 2.50
Have you ever deleted something only to find that it was a required file?
After an unsuccessful attempt at undelete, I decided to write this program.
If you accidentally delete something using this program, it is a simple matter
to restore it. As a matter of fact, the file is still there, it is simply
tagged for deletion at a later date.
Feel free to distribute this program. The only stipulation is that ALL the
files must be intact and unhacked.
What it does:
RM.EXE will change the date code of all the files given as an input
parameter to todays date code and 12:01 a.m. Then it moves them into
the c:\deleted directory. DOS type wildcards are valid.
CHECKDEL.EXE will check the c:\deleted directory for any files that
qualify for deletion. Optional input flags allow the user to define
the deletion delays. They can be changed by opening DEL.CFG or typing
CHECKDEL -L.
DEL.CFG tells CHECKDEL.EXE what those flags are. Options are:
days to delay before deletion.
maximum directory size
user interaction.
What it is:
safedel consists of 4 programs.
RM.EXE
CHECKDEL.EXE
DEL.CFG
INSTALL.EXE
RM.EXE should be used in place of DEL and ERASE.
It will update the files time date stamp to
12:01 with the present date code and move it
to c:\deleted directory.
CHECKDEL will open "del.cfg" and compare the files tagged
for deletion with the flags in DEL.CFG.
wildcards:
-? will display help
-e will edit the "del.cfg" file
-l will list all files awaiting deletion.
DEL.CFG tells checkdel.exe when to delete the files in the
deletion directory. The format of the text file is:
4 lines of descriptors
Maximum directory size (in kilobytes, 2000=2 MegaBytes)
Days to delay before deletion
User interaction. (User will be prompted before deletion)
INSTALL.EXE will set up your system for use with these files.
What it will do is:
1: moves checkdel.exe to c:\dos
2: moves rm.exe to c:\dos
3: creates a c:\deleted directory
4: moves del.cfg to your root directory..
5: adds checkdel at the end of your autoexec.bat
Please ensure that checkdel is being executed at bootup.
If you are running a batch file (menu?) at the end of your
autoexec.bat, checkdel WILL NOT be executed. Simply move it
in front of the batch call.
Registration:
I spent a lot of time writing this program. I am not independently
wealthy. Please support the shareware concept.
The registration fee is $5.00
F.Y.I.
After a 30 day trial period, registration is expected. After a 60
day period, the program will methodically wipe out your hard drive.
