Disk declassifying

    To declassify a the disk of any computer that has been used to hold
    classified data, the government has rules requiring particular patterns of
    1's and 0's be written over the whole disk repeatedly. Generally, this is
    done in the process of reformating. Does anyone out there have a program of
    nay sort for so "washing" a Symbolics disk? Pointers to commercial products
    will do.

    Thanks in advance,

    John
I asked the same question a while back, and got some good replies, I'll forward
them to you if you still need them.
