A 'secure' deletion program for files on any filesystem.  It works by
overwriting the data of the file itself, and making sure the buffers are
forced out to disk.  Later versions will probably incorporate a special
algorithm designed to wipe out all traces of the file's data from the
magnetic medium.

The old file header does NOT get deleted, as this is up to the filesystem,
however file headers can be removed from Amiga filesystem volumes by using
a tool such as ReOrg, which is admittedly overkill, but there's no 100%
kosher way to eliminate the file headers unless the handler specifically a
custom packet for doing so...

THIS PROGRAM HAS NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.  ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO
FILES OR COMPUTER SYSTEMS BY RUNNING THS PROGRAM IS NOT THE AUTHOR'S
RESPONSIBILITY.  USE THIS PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK.

It is placed completely in the public domain.
