Without A Trace Release Notes
-----------------------------

To read this document properly please use word wrap.


Disclaimer
----------

The program file and all files associated with it are supplied 'as is'. Thus any implied or expressed warranties including (but not limited to) the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are disclaimed. I will not be held responsible or liable for any loss or damage of data or hardware, any loss of business or earnings or personal wealth and any legal consequences from the direct or indirect use of the software even if advised of the possibility of such damage or loss.

Important
---------

Without A Trace (referred to as WAT) can and will destroy files/data on a computer. Therefore it is suggested as a precaution all data should be backed up before using this software to prevent the accidental deletion of vital system or personal files.
 	
Note that although this software appears to prevent data from being recovered it is not full-proof, nor do I claim that it is full-proof. I have tested it on a computer running a popular file recovery utility (although not with full recovery protection enabled) and WAT did seem to work. It could though be possible to recover any data deleted using WAT. However it is better than nothing (it is freeware).
 
In either case I will not be held responsible for the consequences of using this software. Use it entirely at your own risk !

Future ?

Currently I am working on an "enhanced security version" of WAT. This program, will include the option of deleting files using encryption. However due to US export restrictions on encryption, availability may be limited.
