Amazon and Eraser APIs updated
This is just a small update, related to two of the files I made available here.
The Amazon lookup unit, snlProtoAmazonOnca.pas, has been updated since Amazon does no longer support the DevToken method. The quick fix in the unit just raises an exception when it is used to allow supporting code to still compile; replacing it with the AssociateID method is a must though for your app to be able to query again.
Also, the 5.8.6 Eraser update was too C-ish, no longer exporting plaintext function names in Eraser.dll. The updated snlAPIEraser.pas contains a quick fix for 5.8.6, with the hope that they'll get back to "proper" exporting with the next version.
The new file revisions are available through their links at the right side of this blog.

Hi CCRDude. I'd like to thank you, first off, because your header got me started on my AutoIt3 implementation of the Eraser API.
But I thought I should let you know that your method does NOT securely delete the file. The eraserRemoveFile and eraserRemoveFolder functions only handle file and folder NAME secure removal. So only the file and folder names are scrambled, but the data is not overwritten. You can see this by watching disk activity when removing a large file, because there is virtually none where there should be a lot!
If you're interested in further pursuing your header, you can see my AutoIt3 implementation where I've exposed some more of the functions and have a script with the proper example usage. I basicaly followed the EraserL source to determine the correct way to use it. Here's the forum link if you're interested. Feel free to remove it if you prefer not to have it here.
