- -> SUPER-DELETE UTILITY
-
- A file is never really erased until you use Birken Software's
- Super-Delete Utility. In an office environment, temporary transfer
- copies that are deleted after use can be obtained by other people using
- such utilities as DOS' undelete or Norton's unerase. Don't let this
- happen to you. Birken Software's Super-Delete Utility fully scrambles,
- shrinks to zero bytes, and completely deletes your file from the face of
- this earth. After using this utility, you will never again have to worry
- about security leaks via undeleted transfer copies.

- simple TSR will blank the screen thus saving it from the danger of
- burn in), an on screen DOS clock (anytime you are in DOS, in the
- upper-right corner a small clock appears telling you the current time),
- and a program we call Friction (this simple TSR slows down your
- computer to any rate you specify; now you can win those fast action
- computer games that are too fast to play or use programs designed for
- slower computers that run too fast on your computer). Full source code
- and documentation included. Plus, to help you get started right away,
- a TSR base, in which you can simply insert your source code that you want
- resident, has been added to this package.
