- I need to send some files out. I need to wipe the ends of the
- end-sectors with zeros (or circumflexes, or anything). This is
- in case there is any sensitive info carried over into them from
- a previous disk volume that had sensitive info.
-
- There was a similar flap several months ago over Prodigy.
-
- Is there a DCL batch file or other utility to do this?
-
- Is there a FAQ for this newsgroup?
-
- Is there an Internet FTP site for DEC-VAX stuff?
-
- Does "High-Water Marking" have anything to do with this?
- If a disk volume is set to "Overwrite-on-delete", will this fix
- this problem. Does the VAX environment have these features and are
- they commonly used for this?
-
- Thanks,
- Walt Dence
