I have uploaded to SIMTEL20: pd1:<msdos.dskutl> CLNFIL22.ZIP Wipes out sensitive data in unused file space CleanFile ensures that you don't inadvently publish confidential data when giving away files on diskettes: Every time DOS writes a file it fills up the last used cluster with some randomly collected data. CleanFile wipes out this unused data space without affecting the file itself. This is a new version with some more options: /r recurse into subdirectories /hid include hidden files /sys include system files /d<date> only files with given or newer date /today only files that have changed today /x<filename> eXclude file(s) from cleaning /s simulate, do NOT clean any files Klaus Hartnegg HAKL%DFRRUF1.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU

I "pruned" all the files on my hard drive and discovered that PRUNE alters the date/time stamp. I hope this (CleanFile) one doesn't. >Klaus Hartnegg >HAKL%DFRRUF1.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU cheers, -mm Martin A.
