as i said IIRC, its been a long time since i've used  wipe, back in the 
day when there was no ext3 etc. Though yes it explains how to get around 
it.. You could simply revert your ext3 to ext2, wipe file and then 
recreate the journal, problem solved, but i cant understand why anyone 
would want to go to that length on a simple file, perfects "questionable 
activities" is the reason in which case I wouldnt want to be seen to 
assisting that person in any way.

nope :)   If it appears broken to you, blame this list server for breaking 
things for you by adding its own double dash sign



Hope we all had a lovely Christmas.
Best wishes for the new year...
