        Hello Martin,

Thanks remy so much for your reply,
Now if I need to overwrite the current file with zeros or garbage, is there
any file management function/api that I should use to establish such task.

        Martin use the fopen function, Open the file anyway you want. Write
a bunch of zeros in it, close it, then use the erase command, unlink command
or whatever command you want.   Then (for safety sake look for your same
file with maybe a different extension of .bak.... and do the same for
that.).

                            Dwayne
