Error Permanent file deletion - sensitive data

All,

I'm hoping someone can help fill me in on this one.
Smilie
I work with bank data deemed "sensitive" and, once processed, need to figure out a way to overwrite the files with enough garbage data in order to prevent someone from being able to recover any of the data from the disk. I know a simple rm won't do the trick, as that only removes the pointer to the data. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Pete

NAME
GENLIB_SAVE_PHSC - save a layout on disk SYNOPSYS
#include <genlib.h> void GENLIB_SAVE_PHSC(); ORIGIN
This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France. Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/ E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr DESCRIPTION
SAVE_PHSC saves the current working figure previously definded by a DEF_PHFIG or DEF_PHSC call, and performs a DEF_AB(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L) just before saving the figure, in order to give it the appropriate size for standard cell blocks. SAVE_PHSC uses environment variables to choose the file format and the path to the file. No check is made to see if a file with the same name already exists on disk, so be careful not to overwrite some precious data. ERROR
"GENLIB_SAVE_PHSC impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG" No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG or DEF_PHSC. So it isn't possible to save anything. you must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action. EXAMPLE
#include <genlib.h> main() { /* Create a physical figure to work on */ GENLIB_DEF_PHSC("cell"); /* Place an instance */ GENLIB_SC_PLACE("finst", NOSYM,0L,0L); /* Save all that on disk */ GENLIB_SAVE_PHSC(); } SEE ALSO
genlib(1), GENLIB_DEF_PHSC(3), MBK_OUT_PH(1), MBK_WORK_LIB(1). BUG REPORT
This tool is under development at the ASIM department of the LIP6 laboratory. We need your feedback to improve documentation and tools. PROCEDURAL GENERATION LANGUAGE
