The re-written and tuned product DiskWipe is no longer part of the ShareWare offer, but a real product now.

Price adjusted to the real development costs.


To automatically erase an existing disk file, set the Clear-on-Purge flag on the file in question, and purge it: The disk process takes care of the file by overwriting all allocated extents with zeros before the file really is purged (better: the file space returned to the volumes free list [DFS ? disk free space]).
But what about erasing the space that is NOT covered by a disk file, the free space itself?

Here is the solution: The ShareWare tool set WIPE.

WIPE comes with three programs:
· FFSWipe erases the allocated
free space from a set of disk
files
· FileWipe rases a set of disk
files from disk
· DiskWipe erases the free
space (space between files)
of a set of disk volumes;
this tool became re-written
and is no longer part of the
ShareWare offer, but a real
product now.

All tools allow to define the number erase rounds: The file, or free space, in question is not simply overwritten with zeros, but depending on the number of rounds (1 .. 4), the erase pattern vary.
For more details please read the documentation that comes along with the tools.

Price:
1300 US$ per NSK system for international users
1000 EURO per NSK system for European users

For detail information please read the documentation.
