Visual inspection tool for .dsk Spectrum/Amstrad disk images
Disk Image Manager is an application for examining and manipulating disk images in the Standard and Extended DSK format used by many Spectrum, Amstrad PCW and CPC emulators. Many of the features and functions of this tool were driven by the Spectrum Disk Preservation team which used this format and tool to help manage the selection and testing of disk images archived to The World of Spectrum and The TZX Vault.

MicroFormat
A Windows Format Tool for USB and Physical volumes
A simple Windows tool that can format USB or physical volumes to either NTFS or FAT32. It supports custom Volume names and quick formatting. Done out of boredom and curiosity for practicing purposes. The program will refuse to format the Windows partition. Because the Windows partition is not always C, the check is not hard-coded. Rather, I perform a comparison between the currently selected volume to format and the known System volume. If they match, I trip a flag. -

LibSecRm - Secure Removal Library
A library for secure deleting data on-the-fly
LibSecRm (LIBrary for SECure ReMoval) is a set of replacements for these standard C functions which cause data removing from files. The data is first securely wiped on-the-fly, to protect the user's privacy, then the original functions are called. There is NO NEED to rebuild your software, because LibSecRm is a pre-loadable library, meaning you just need to RUN the software with LibSecRm loaded. LibSecRm is also a development library. The following wiping methods are supported: Gutmann-like, random, Schneier, DoD. See the project homepage https://libsecrm.sourceforge.io and the project Wiki in the menu above. To wipe data that was left on the drive by using "normal" delete operations, you can take a look at WipeFreeSpace (https://wipefreespace.sourceforge.io), which wipes the space used by files marked as deleted (and other things, too). -
