10-10-95. NYPaper: "Deleted, but Not Gone or Forgotten." Files produced by Microsoft Office Windows applications, including Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Access, often incorporate chunks of data previously deleted from the disk on which the files were saved. Microsoft said the problem was solved in earlier versions of Microsoft Word but that it has recurred in the new version for Windows 95. Third-party programmers report another security lapse. Word offers optional password protection by encryption. The encryption, however, does not extend to "objects" within the file. "Chip Maker Introduces a Chip for Super Use and for Modems." One of the most closely watched Silicon Valley start-up companies plans on Tuesday to disclose details of an ambitious computer chip that it hopes will one day be used in everything from cable modems to supercomputers. Microunity Systems Engineering Inc. said its chips would be able to process information 10 times faster than today's personal computer microprocessors. The chip will consist of 10.5 million transistors and will process data at a gigahertz, or a billion operations a second. It is designed so that it can process information in parallel and will be capable of issuing up to four 128-bit-wide instructions simultaneously. 2: LOG_rea (10 kb)
