I have uploaded to SIMTEL20: pd1:<msdos.dskutl> COVERUP1.ZIP Erases unused sectors and tails of files Erases all but disk structure and data in files. This is 99% useless, but when you need it, you do need it. For when you want to be really sure there is nothing extra on a disk. Overwrites all free clusters, the unused space betweeen the end of a file and the end of a cluster, and all erased filenames in the directories. Reports the number of bytes in bad sectors found. Primarily for floppies. Will also work on hard disks, but gives dire warnings first. Checks the disk extensively before running and exits at any sign of trouble. Should handle any standard hard or floppy disk. Gary Mussar <MUSSAR@BNR.CA>
