What do you mean with "older Macs" - machines for Mac OS X or
Mac OS 7/8/9?

For Mac OS X should the Finder be good enough, below the "erase
trash" in Finder-menue is a "erase trash secure" entry (or so,
I don't know the english text, I only have German versions here).
If you duplicate some big files as long as the disk isn't full,
drop all togehter to the trash and erase secure, all data should be
erased an the new free space should be randomly overwritten.

For Mac OX below X is a solution in the PGP-Installation, AFAIR
in the PGP-Menue, installed in Finder an other applications.

Regards
Carsten
