ERASEDISK
 
The ERASEDISK program is used to comply with certain national security
guidelines when removing disks from a secure site.  This program will
format the desired disk unit fron 3 to 6 times, using data supplied by the
operator as a format pattern.  The program is self documenting.  To
invoke the ERASEDISK program type:
 
    CLI> X ERASEDISK
 
The ERASEDISK program will overwrite every disk block on the disk.  No
information will be retained!  Once the ERASEDISK program has erased
a disk you will need a disk defect tape to re-format the disk for use
in an R1000 system.
