PC Tools has a wipe program that will either wipe individual files, or wipe all unallocated diskspace. It also allows you to choose the level of wipe (single overwrite, multiple, etc).
There has been considerable discussion on the MCIP list about how most *Mac* programs that purport to do this, like Burn, for example, leave stuff over in disk blocks. My understanding is that this is not a trivial problem, and it occurs in MUSH-DOS as well....
