ZAP 1.3 fills a file with nulls -- chr(0). The length of the file is unchanged. For security, you might do this preparatory to erasing a file to ensure it can never be unerased. You might combine ZAP with DEL! to get the effect of Norton Wipefile, but without all the "Are you sure?" prompts. use: ZAP C:\Mysub\Myfile.Dat There are NO warning prompts, so be careful with this. ZAP does not understand wildcards. I wrote ZAP to help debug the ORG defragger by converting a problem diskette into an equivalent one easily compressed for modem transfer. If you want to create dummy files see EMPTY.COM and RESIZE.COM. MASM source included. Copyrighted but may be freely copied and used for any purpose except military. Version 1.3 just embeds the new address and phone number. WARNING! ZAP only works with 8.3 filenames.
