Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: WarpZip and Data Shield updates

From: Wayne Swanson <swanee at pillarsoft.net> 


WarpZip and Data Shield have been updated.

**************************************
WARPZIP LITE

A couple of people have nudged me into action on an application I had 
started some time ago and, at the time, didn't feel it met a need. I  have
brushed it up a bit and am releasing it as an additional  application to
WarpZip and the PillarSoft Suite.

"WarpZip Lite" offers a lightweight way to extract zip files while 
working on your desktop. It becomes an "Open as..." menu selection for 
zip files objects and allows the user to extract the archive to any 
selected (or created) directory. Currently, WarpZip Lite works only on 
ZIP archives as the basis for this program was done before WarpZip had 
support for other archivers.

Using WarpZip Lite is as easy as right clicking any zip file icon 
(object) and selecting "WarpZip Lite" from the "Open as" menu. Once the 
window opens, users may make their target directory selection and press 
the "Extract" button to unzip the archive and optionally, open the  folder
where it was unzipped.

Users may create directories or let WarpZip Lite create directories  based
on the archive name. After a directory is created, WarpZip Lite  will
extract the archive and (optionally) open the destination directory 
folder on the desktop after the extraction.

The user may also elect to use the "Quick Extract" selection. Quick 
Extract will automatically find the system TMP or TEMP directory and 
create a subdirectory based on the first eight chars of the archive 
filename. After the directory is created, the archive is extracted into 
it and (optionally) the directory folder is opened on the desktop.

WarpZip Lite is only available to registered users of WarpZip or the 
PillarSoft Suite.

**************************************
DATA SHIELD

Data Shield has also been updated to be able to do secure cleanups on 
Mozilla installations.

Data Shield is a secure deletion program that removes sensitive 
information from a hard drive. Normally, deleting a file only marks the 
file as deleted on your drive but the data remains and may still be 
recovered. Data Shield will obliterate it so that data may not be 
recovered by overwriting it x number of times or according to Department 
of Defense specification.

It has options to do a standard or secure delete on:

    Individual files
    File listings
    Contents of a directory
    A directory tree
    Complete drives
    Freespace on a given drive
    TMP, TEMP or DELETE directories
    Netscape/Mozilla browser cache
    Netscape/Mozilla history and drop down history list
    Mozilla download database

Data Shield will automatically find standard installations of Netscape 
2.02, 4.04, 4.61 or 6.0 and Mozilla while offering to clean any part of 
it according to the versions need.

In this version we have included the routines to securely overwrite and 
clean entries for Mozilla as well as a few changes in file deletion 
routines to increase effectiveness.

If you have sensitive data on a drive (financial records or client lists 
for example) never give away or sell the drive without cleaning it 
thoroughly.

**************************************
