joee@li.net (j. ercole)Thu, 27 Jul 95 07:26:09 PDT
Can anyone point me towards a program that's freeware or shareware that
will overwrite all the unused i.e., "trashed" space on my hard drive(s)? I
sincerely apologise if this is a faq. I know norton's will do it but I
don't presently have that installed on my machine. Thanks oodles,
joe

I once had a program called Burn, which is another trachcan, but
overwrites the data X-times. (You choose yourself how many!)
You can get it at:
ftp://ftp.usa.net/users/mdw/mac/burn/
Hope this helps,
- Halvor.
