-
- Safe Delete does exactly what you want:
-
- "This program provides a patch for the AmigaDOS library delete
- function so that any deletions operate in a similar manner to the
- workbench Trashcan. When a file is deleted it is moved into a trashcan
- directory from where it can later be deleted. A list of files can be
- specified, using the full pattern matching system which are actually
- deleted rather than moved."
-
- The programme applies to *every* deletion (including moves). Trashcan
- entries can be automatically purged after a chosen number of days. (I
- use an entry in s:user-startup to do this.)

- Author is Chris Watson:

- The docs put contact Email as:
- cw@olympus.cs.hull.ac.uk (probably not there -
- this a uni account)
- or cwatson@compulink.co.uk
-
- Could be on Aminet, or in the Fish collection (it's a 1992 proggy).
