- I hate to say this, but MS-DOS 6 UNDELETE is actually pretty good.
- Specifically, the SENTRY idea is bloody excellent. Does anyone know if
- an equivalent exists for the Amiga?
-
- Essentially, a background task allocates an area of the hard disk for
- deleted files and keeps them for a specified number of days before wiping
- them out. UNDELETE can bring them back at any time.
-
- I know there are Mac Trashcan-style Workbench apps out there, but I'm
- looking for something that will patch AmigaDOS Delete function and sneak
- the files off to a storage area for a few days before killing them.
-
- Thanks,
