On issue 39 of Fred magazine (which is up on NVG) you will find a program called 'Shredder' which I wrote way back in 1993 or 1994 (Can't remember exactly when, it was a long time ago!). This will permentantly erase files, and all the sectors used by them. But it will only work on normal SAMDOS style formatted disks with 80 file slots in the directory table. (No support for disks formatted with MasterDOS with more tracks for the directory) All the best, Colin ===== Quazar : Hardware, Software, Spares and Repairs for the Sam Coupe Website: http://www.quazar.clara.net/sam/ and http://www.samcoupe.com/ *** Issue 11 of "Sam Revival" Magazine Out Now ***
