- 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.
