DFSee 8.11 has just been released with some nice enhancements!

You can finally create JFS volumes now completely within DFSee, no need for 
additional work with the regular LVM program.


Much better 'removable' and 'large floppy' display and handling, including 
a FAT FORMAT that can create bootable OS/2 USB sticks. The latter requires 
a minimum OS/2 system copied too of course, and compatible hardware  :-)

Thanks to Rainer Stroebel for much research, and creating the 
eCS-OS/2-USB-Boot WIKI in progress at:

     http://p2066.typo3server.info/wiki-usb-boot-en.html

See point 6.3.2 specifically, I created a bootable eCS stick with that 
today that boots to a command prompt and DFSee ... (but several attempts 
with others sticks failed)


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.

         instead of the generic '8xx' version number
