Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2004 10:36:28 -0500 From: "Mark Dodel" Subject: [VOICENWS] SW: DFSee version 6.00 released, major improvements! From: "Jan van Wijk" This is a MAJOR release of the DFSee program, it includes the complete menu system with context sensitive help and a vastly improved IMAGING subsystem that will do size-limited multiple files and better compression. Upgrades are available from 5.xx as wel as 4.xx registrations. A bootable FreeDOS diskette with DFSDOS 6.00 will be made available later today, and an ISO-image for a bootable CD will follow in a few days. (requires you to add a key!) DFSee is the SWISS-ARMY-KNIFE for disk and filesystem problems. With FDISK-like displays, analysis and recovery, FIX commands, UNDELETE for HPFS/NTFS, imaging and cloning.
