Nice utility, greytrev.

Just a test:

Edit a 8k+ textfile and delete, say the half of the text and save it again.
Then schred and look with a hex editor and you will find readable, residual information.

So, if you're going to sell your ax (heaven forbid :-) and want to make sure no vital information is left, then you MUST overwrite ALL of the memory.

Just my 2€ :-)
