-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Peter Baumbach posted on Jan 3: I stumbled onto a pair of programs called seejunk.exe and prune.exe this past week. ... There is also an opportunity here. Encrypted information could be stored at the end of your files. In other words this is an opportunity for steganography. ... I don't have full access to the internet. If someone finds these programs on the internet, can they post the location here. If the files aren't on the internet, I can email them to anyone that wants to post them to the cypherpunk ftp site.

PRUNE23.ZIP DCTL 10504 03-29-93 Unbeknownst to you, DOS often puts data from your other files after the end of your files PRUNE allows you to clear this perhaps sensitive information out before you pass it on to your competitors. You know can pick the pattern to be written after the end-of- file, and there's now a "scan subdirectories " option too. Version 2.3 of a free Sydex utility.
