DIRECTORY SNOOP 5.0

Houston, TX -- Briggs Softworks announces the release of Directory Snoop 
5.0, a cluster-level search tool that allows Windows users to snoop 
through their disk drives to see what data may be hiding in the cracks. 
Use Directory Snoop to recover deleted files you thought you would never 
see again or permanently erase sensitive files so that no one will know 
they ever existed.

New for version 5.0 is the addition of an NTFS Module for snooping NTFS 
formatted drives. Support for FAT formatted drives has been improved 
with a redesigned FAT Module interface. Deleted files can now be 
recovered in batches. Filtering functions are integrated in the file 
tree to isolate deleted or other types of files. File records can be 
sorted by any available field across the entire drive.

Other features in Directory Snoop include the ability to view, search, 
print, or copy raw cluster data, link clusters with the files that own
them, examine the FAT and Master File Tables, and view files through 
external applications. You can also use Directory Snoop to destroy 
sensitive data by wiping file data, slack, and free drive space up to 35 
passes and purge names of deleted files right out of the Master File 
Table.

Directory Snoop is available for Windows 95 through XP and works with 
non-compressed FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS file systems. Supported 
media include local hard drives, floppy disks, Zip disks, MO disks, and 
flashcard readers. The license fee is $39.95. 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.
