                ARE YOU SURE THAT FILE WAS REALLY DELETED?

Houston, TX -- Briggs Softworks announces the release of Directory Snoop
3.0, the latest search tool that allows Windows 95/98 users to snoop
through their disk drives to see what data may be hiding in the cracks.
Use Directory Snoop to unerase files you thought you would never see
again or use it to permanently destroy unwanted files so that no one can
ever see them again.

New for version 3.0 is a redesigned interface that will show you the
true contents of your disk folders, not just the filtered file list
displayed by Windows Explorer.  A new Global List feature allows you to
search and group files by very specific attributes across multiple
directories and even multiple drives.

Find and recover erased files with the new automatic unerase function.
Step through the file allocation table (FAT) and recover individual
clusters.  Search for text or binary strings inside selected files or
raw clusters.  Overwrite files and individual clusters with the 4-pass
wiping system to prevent recovery of sensitive data.

Use Directory Snoop to verify the effectiveness of your current file
wiping utility.  Did you know that old file names linger in the directory
structures even after they are renamed, deleted, or wiped?  Directory
Snoop can hunt down and purge those erased file names so that no one will
know they ever existed.

Directory Snoop is available for Windows 95/98 and works with non-
compressed FAT12/16/32 file systems on fixed and removable media drives.
The license fee is $29 plus S&H.  Multi-user site licenses are also
available. Visit the Briggs Softworks web site to download an evaluation
copy, view screen shots, and read more about the program.
