NUKE(TM)
Version 1.11
(C) 1988, 1989 by Charles Martin Hannum II
The purpose of NUKE (and NUKE/V) is to erase files from
your disks completely, including the directory entry. This
will insure that nosey persons are not able to ressurect
said files later with such programs as Peter Norton's
UnErase. For sensitive information, this is an absolute
necessity, and I believe these two programs provide an
optimal solution.
This disk (or ARChive) contains the following files:
NUKE.TXT This file
NUKE.DOC Documentation for NUKE
NUKEV.DOC Documentation for NUKE/V
NUKE.COM NUKE executable
NUKEV.COM NUKE/V executable
NUKE.HST Revision history
NUKE/V differs from NUKE in that it defaults to Verify
mode instead of Automatic mode. For extra security, you
might want to rename NUKEV.COM to NUKE.COM on your work
disk. This may avoid many inadvertant disasters. Remember,
once a file is NUKEd, it's gone forever!
You may distribute NUKE and NUKE/V freely, so long as
you distribute them in the original .ARC file that I have
provided. DO NOT REARCHIVE ANY OF THESE FILES! This will
insure that both NUKE and NUKE/V are distributed together
and with their documentation, and will make it easier for me
to watch for buggy versions.
If you like and use either or both of these programs, I
request a registration fee of $25, which covers both NUKE
and NUKE/V. Send all registrations to:
Charles M. Hannum II
P.O. Box 278
Henryville, PA 18332
Upon registration, you will receive a unique user
identification number. You will also get free telephone
support (at a number which I will provide to registered
users), and be notified of bug fixes, enhancements, etc.
Your registration will enable me to continue to support
these products. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.
Invoices are available upon request. Thank you.

P.S. Remember that some programs create temporary files
containing the data you are working with. When you
exit these programs, the files are automatically
erased. Though this is a convenience, it may leave
another path for a sneaky intruder to reconstruct your
data. For this reason, I have written DEL22. DEL22
will catch programs like this, and automatically NUKE
the above mentioned temporary files. If security is
important, you might want to try out DEL22. If you
can't find it on your local bulletin boards, send $4
for an unregistered copy, or $25 for a pre-registered
copy. Registered users of NUKE may register DEL22 for
only $15, or vice versa.
