Data Shield and the Enhanced E Editor have been updated to v1.4 and v2.4 respectively.

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 browser cache
 Netscape history and drop down history list

Data Shield will automatically find standard installations of Netscape 2.02, 4.04, 4.61 or 6.0 and offer 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 the new IBM Browser 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.

The Enhanced E has a few new features and fixes also. New items in v2.4:

 Added ascii character viewer and insert tool.
 Strip trailing spaces also when "Strip # chars"
 Fixed "Strip # chars" when "Left" is greater than LineLength
 Changed hot-keys for ClipText.

Data Shield is not for sale separately but is available as part of the PillarSoft Suite. The Enhanced E is $25 and is available through BMT Micro, Mensys and others. Take a peek at our website for more information on the Enhanced E and Data Shield.

The PillarSoft Suite has been updated to contain both of these programs plus 11 more OS/2 and eCS specific programs for only $129.

Note: The $99 PillarSoft Suite special remains in effect for a few more days. You can take advantage of this great price on a full suite of OS/2 and eCS software until June 4th.
