- Short: Replaces the trashcan with an AppIcon

- The trashcan has a number of faults :
-
- * A trashcan is needed on every volume (Floppy disks, Hard disks e.t.c)
-
- * The trashcan does not delete files directly, they are stored in a special
- directory until the user selects "Empty Trash"
-
- * The trashcan is located in the window of the root directory of a drive.
- It is not always easy to get to in a crowded workbench screen.
-
-
- "The Bin" solves these problems by :
-
- * Placing one icon in the actual workbench window.
-
- * Files are deleted straight away (the user is asked to confirm)
-
- * Using the commodity system. A Hotkey will bring up the control window.
-
-
- "The Bin" is written by Kevin Sheedy and requires Workbench 2.0 or above.
