The trashcan has a number of faults :

* A trashcan is needed on every volume (Floppy disks, Hard disks e.t.c)

* The trashcan does not delete files directly, they are stored in a special
  directory until the user selects "Empty Trash"

* The trashcan is located in the window of the root directory of a drive.
  It is not always easy to get to in a crowded workbench screen.


"The Bin" solves these problems by :

* Placing one icon in the actual workbench window.

* Files are deleted straight away (the user is asked to confirm)

* Using the commodity system. A Hotkey will bring up the control window.


"The Bin" is written by Kevin Sheedy and requires Workbench 2.0 or above.
