What worries me about most of these PC "DoD" file erasers is that I am reliably informed that on at least one occasion, 11 generations of data have been recovered from a generic SCSI hard disk. It was a very unusual circumstance (suspicion of data leakage from a very high security site), but I find it difficult to take 5-pass programs very seriously. Ian.
