Is anyone aware of a security program that is like the one in Norton
which writes x'es or gibberish over areas on the disk without currently
active files?  

This little security program does not seem to be available on 
local BBS'es or systems.

I would prefer shareware or freeware, but if none is available
then an innexpensive (under 20.00) option would be okay.

Thanks,
Charles
