___________________________________________________________________________

GlobalTrash is a trashcan-system that offers a global trashcan, undelete-
ability (remembers the origin), GUI and device-specific commands (e.g.
eject-support) via external AmigaDOS commands.
It comes with catalogs, guides and installer-scripts in different
languages and it's FREE (but a registration after 30 days is required).

And here are the highlights:
============================

  - One appicon for all volumes on the workbench.
  - Fontsensitive and appealing GUI.
  - Access to a global trashcan with the contents of all trashcan-
    directories on all volumes.
  - Ability to access a single trashcan-directory on a volume.
  - Automatically delete files older than a specific amount of days.
  - You can use the trashcan for the backups of your programms (like
    GoldED, PageStream,...). You will always have access to your older
    documents and you can be sure that they will be deleted if they are
    too old.
  - Ability to start an AmigaDOS-Command for every volume (to eject your
    ZIP-Disks for example).
  - Different requesters with various options for interaction.
  - Usage in combination with DirectoryOpus (or other programms) possible.
    The nedded external programm 'GlobalTrashClient is now included.
  - Progress-bar.

  - Correct processing of the same filenames in the same trashcan-
    directory (no overwriting of existent files in a trashcan directory).
  - Ability to restore a file in his original path with his original
    filename.
  - GUI shows a file-tree for directories. Ability to browse within this
    tree and to process (restore, delete) files from within.
  - Recognition of files which are not moved by GlobalTrash into the
    trashcan directory (without the origin); for example a backup-file
    from GoldED.
  - Ability to restore files over multiple volumes.
  - Correct processing of the iconfiles (#?.info).
  - and many many more.
