DFSee has saved me at least twice and helped me out several other times. ] DFSee version 9.03 has been released today It has a few minor bug fixes, but more importantly it is a pre-release of the 'Tx Advanced Scripting' engine as presented at warpstock 2007 in Toronto. TxScript has been enhanced with many new features, making it a quite powerful scripting environment, some highlights: - Scalar and array variables - Expression evaluation for numbers and strings - Flow control with if-then-elseif-else, while, for, until - Access to much DFSee internal info using system variables For an introduction in TX advanced scripting see: http://www.dfsee.com/presentations.php Almost all features described there are present in 9.03, the few missing ones will be added in the upcoming 9.04. Some small code samples are included as sample-*.dfs. DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning, filesystem and disk analysis, file recovery, UNDELETE for HPFS JFS, and NTFS, resizing and smart imaging or cloning.
