I need to send some files out. I need to wipe the ends of the
end-sectors with zeros (or circumflexes, or anything). This is
in case there is any sensitive info carried over into them from
a previous disk volume that had sensitive info.
There was a similar flap several months ago over Prodigy.
Is there a DCL batch file or other utility to do this?
Is there a FAQ for this newsgroup?
Is there an Internet FTP site for DEC-VAX stuff?
Does "High-Water Marking" have anything to do with this?
If a disk volume is set to "Overwrite-on-delete", will this fix
this problem. Does the VAX environment have these features and are
they commonly used for this?
Thanks,
Walt Dence
