Date: Fri, 02 Apr 2004 16:39:35 -0500 From: "Mark Dodel" Subject: [VOICENWS] SW: DFSee version 6.04 released! From: "Jan van Wijk" This is a significant upgrade to the 6.02 version with some new functionality, many menu additions and some Linux stuff. If you are using a multi-boot or pure Linux system, check the recognition of GRUB, LILO, EXT2/3 and the Reiser filesystem! You also might want to try the 'DFSCHECK' script that does an automatic analysis of all recognized filesystems on your disks. (As always, use 'DFSCHECK -?' for usage information) 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.
