- File Garbage Can For Windows 3.x
- 04/12/93
-
-
- REASON
-
- Ordinary DOS and Windows file deletes are NOT secure. The file is
- merely marked as deleted but the data in the file is still sitting
- on the disk. Any undelete program or disk scan program can access the
- data on the disk. It remains that way until another file happens to
- overwrite the disk area.
-
- Garbage Can will take care of the security problem that occurs with
- an ordinary file delete. We GUARANTEE the deleted file can NOT be
- recovered.
-
-
- VERSION
- We maintain no version number since we can not seem to keep track
- of them anyway. We track our projects by date. The date that appears
- on this documentation and in the 'About' dialog is the release date.
-
-
- OPTIONS
-
- The program options can be selected from the menu or by using
- command line options. The options are:
-
- Confirm Delete (Default = On)
- ------------------------------
- A dialog box will appear prior to the file being deleted. You
- will be asked to confirm that you want the file deleted. When this
- option is turned off, the file will be deleted without confirmation.
-
- Secure Delete (Default = On)
- ----------------------------
- By default, this program will delete a file as designed. By
- turning this option off, an ordinary DOS file delete will be
- done. This can save a considerable amount of time in a large
- file but of course, you give up the security.
-
-
- COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
-
- -C Turn 'Confirm Delete' option off.
- -S Turn 'Secure Delete' option off.
- -I Start program as inactive icon.
-
- You can add these options to the command line in any order or
- fashion. For example, GARBAGE0 -CS would turn the 'Confirm' and
- 'Delete' options off.
-
-
- VERSION FOR WINDOWS 3.1
-
- The version for Windows 3.1 is GARBAGE1.EXE and will not run in
- earlier versions of Windows.
-
- GARBAGE1 runs the same as GARBAGE0 but has one added feature. It
- allows you to 'Drag And Drop' files from the Windows File Manager
- program on to the GARBAGE1 minimized icon. Any file dragged on to
- the icon will then be processed according to the way you have the
- program options set.

- SHAREWARE
-
