                 File Garbage Can For Windows 3.1
                             04/12/95

															 
                              REASON

Ordinary DOS and Windows file deletes are NOT secure. The file is
merely marked as deleted but the data in the file is still sitting
on the disk. Any undelete program or disk scan program can access the
data on the disk.  It remains that way until another file happens to
overwrite the disk area.

Garbage Can will take care of the security problem that occurs with
an ordinary file delete. We GUARANTEE the deleted file can NOT be
recovered.

                  STAND-ALONE VERSION (CAN16.EXE)

It allows you to 'Drag And Drop' files from the Windows File Manager
program on to the minimized icon.  Any file dragged on to
the icon will then be processed according to the way you have the
program options set.


             FILE MANAGER EXTENSION VERSION (CANF16.DLL)

This version attachs itself to the Windows File Manager program.  The
program appears as an icon that you can drag files on.  The menu will
be attached to the File Manager menu.  The program will automatically
start when you start the File Manager.  You need to edit the File
Manager initialization file (winfile.ini) to use this version.  See
the Garbage Can help file for additional details.

                         VERSION NUMBERS

We maintain no version number since we can not seem to keep track
of them anyway. We track our projects by date. The date that appears
on this documentation and in the 'About' dialog is the release date.
