I have uploaded a new copy of SafeDelete to sunsite.unc.edu.  It is in
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/Incoming/ until it gets moved to its 
proper place:

    ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/shell/safedelete-1.0.tar.gz

There is a bug when attempting to delete a hidden file which is followed
by a non-alphanumeric character (e.g. ".#test.file").  SafeDelete incorrectly
issues an "invalid path" message.  This problem has been fixed.

This fix is released as version 1.0b.  Issue 'safedelete --version' to
make sure you have the correct release.
