I should have added that this powerful tool has to be applied with brains! If
you use it on a non-text file, i.e. a binary file such as an EXEcutable, you
WILL trash it. And. moreover, the change that DEL26 makes is irreversible.
So if there is ANY doubt in your mind, make a backup of the target file before
you use DEL26.
