Description:
My project, \"trash\", is a command-line replacement for the Windows recycle 
bin. Trash is an rm replacement which copies files to a hidden trash can 
directory in the user\'s home directory. The directory can be specified by the 
user. It can easily restore the trashed files to their original location. Trash 
tracks the files deleted to prevent the trash can from becoming too large, and 
removes older files that the user will most likely not want anymore. The 
program will allow the user to choose the maximum size and age settings. The 
program will allow the user to compress the trash can with tar and gzip (or, 
optionally, bzip2) to further reduce the disk space used, or leave it 
uncompressed if the user wants more speed.

The program is written from scratch in C and licensed under the GPL. I have not 
finished a first release yet but I\'m working on it and will put the current 
source on CVS as soon as possible.

Other Software Required:
GNU tar, gzip
