Description:
This application provides a convenient way of deleting unwanted files and
directories. It is similar (but far superior!) to the Mac 'Wastebasket' and to
many similar applications on workstations.
Black Hole has the following features:
* It provides a quick and easy way of deleting files. All of the wipe
options can be set from within the Black Hole.
* It provides wipe features not normally available, such as the ability to
retain directories.
* It can be configured to keep a backup copy of any file it deletes, for a
specified length of time.
* All operations are carried out in the background as much as possible. This
means you can get on with other things while BlackHole grinds away at your
disc.
* It provides a facility for saving files from desktop applications into
specified directories.
* It contains a file find utility.
* It puts a nice sprite on your iconbar which spins round and looks pretty.
* Black Hole is fully compatible with Acorn's !Help.
Version 2.22 of BlackHole is completely rewritten and now includes a file
finder, a file saver and other functions.
