I wrote a disk wiper that erases a previously formatted diskette in something
under two seconds.  I'd be happy to post it if there is interest, or I will
mail you a copy (with Lattice C source).

Send requests via US mail to:

Send a self-addressed mailer and diskette or some $$ for costs, please.

I have also uploaded to the Software Distillery BBS - (919)471-6436
It's called DISKWIPE.ARC


(BTW, the executable is ~4K total - in 100% C)
