DFSee version 8.09 has just been released.

There is a 'serial' command to set the volume serial number, and several 
useful items have been added to the DFSee menu. All buffer handling has 
been reworked to allow arbitrary sectorsizes (like 4Kb on the new 
generation harddisks  :-)

The new 'Bootmanager menu Delete' in the menu now also gets rid of those 
annoying '--> LVM' names that sometimes remained on the IBM bootmanager menu.

DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning, filesystem 
and disk analysis, file recovery, UNDELETE for HPFS JFS, and NTFS, 
resizing, imaging, cloning and sector editing.

   Note: Most of these can also be downloaded using '809'
         instead of the generic '8xx' version number

  - LVM MENU BMGR menu delete removes obsolete '--> LVM' string too
  - LVM MENU Explicit menu item 'Bootmanager menu Delete'
  - MENU     JFS text now 'Unmounted & Clean' for consistency
  - PART     BSIZE buffers allow 2 4Kb sectors, fix 'GPT' crash
  - PART -b  Linux style table with start/end and size in blocks
