It worked.  It took 1hr 29min.  Comprehensive set of wipe options, which you can pre-customised with a configuration file.  The name CopyWipe comes from the fact that the utility lets you Copy or Wipe a hard disk.

Version tested: CopyWipe DOS v1.14

Plus points:

• it’s free!
• the makedisk utility made creating a “kill” cd-rom very easy.

Things I didn’t like:

• there was nothing I didn’t like.
  It worked as advertised.
