[Moderator note: This post should have gone out on 3/5/2007 but was 
inadvertently missed. I apologize for the delay. ]

DFSee 8.12 has just been released.

Menu additions, display enhancements, (NTFS) resizing refinements and 
several small fixes and updates.


Some info on creating a bootable USB-stick with OS/2 and DFSee (with a link 
to more info) is now part of the DFSee HOWTO at:

         http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/howto.htm#usbootlf


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.


More details at:

Direct download links from the DFSee website:

   http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/dfsee8xx_iso.zip
   http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/dfsee8xx_dsk.zip

   Note: Most of these can also be downloaded using '812'
         instead of the generic '8xx' version number

Most important functional changes since 8.11:

  - CD       Display current working directory without an error
  - CHECK    NTFS, fix alloc error messages on split-tree DIR
  - CR dlg   Fix size=1 sticking after a BMGR partition is made
  - FORMAT   Use drive locking during format (on OS2 and Windows)
  - LOCK     Support lock-by-driveletter for large floppy format
  - LVM dlg  Update of driveletters works again (bug in 8.11)
  - MAP      Fixed display of driveletter line with 'map * +'
  - MENU     Display -> Other partition views; fixed, better help
  - MENU     Mode=FDISK -> Set Partition -> Not active, clear flag
  - NTFS     Recognize Windows Vista NTLDR sectors (named BOOTMGR)
  - PART     LVM column aligned if > 98 cols, using max 114 cols
  - PART -b  Align freespace lines for Linux in its default table
  - RESIZE   Allow '*' for default/maximum size in the dialog
  - RESIZE   NTFS, avoid empty bitmap extent on expanding the FS
  - RESIZE   NTFS, avoid extra bitmap flushing after updating it
  - STORE    Better understandable store description texts
  - WIPE -V  Perform an all-sector verify by reading back


Known bug (in version 8.11 and 8.12)
When creating LVM/JFS volumes (type 35) with DFSee, do NOT check both:

      ( ) Create NEW mode, clear existing bootsector and old LVM info

and

      [x] Include LVM information

Since that currently interferes with creating the extra info. This problem 
is under investigation and wil be solved in 8.13. Using either one of them 
is OK, but not both at the same time.
