Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2017 11:51:31 -0400 From: Subject: [VOICENWS] SW: DFSee version 14.9 released ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice dot org ++ From: jvwDESPAM at DESPAMdfsee dot com DFSee version 14.9 has been released. MINOR release, meaning you get it for FREE if you have a 14.x key already. However, there are some nice new features and some bug fixes in there! - HELP texts added to most DFSee scripts (use on popup messages!) - Easier conversion between MBR and GPT style, using commands or the menu - Media re-scan, get new inserted disk visible without restarting DFSee - Crash in R/W bad-sector scan fixed (Windows, possibly Linux/macOS too) and avoid bogus bad-sectors reported at the end of a filesystem - Program Update can use .WPI (OS/2) or .MSI (Windows) instead of the ZIP Note: Version 14.8 users (or PUPPY 14.7) can update directly using the menu: Help-> Program Updates / Downloads -> Get latest STABLE update (Works with the OS/2, Windows, Linux and macOS versions too, if WGET is there) DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning, smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks, filesystem and disk analysis, directory/file browsing with edit/view/copy capabilities including limited UNDELETE.
