MINOR release, meaning you get it for FREE if you have a 15.x key already. Introduces the UEFI capable 64-bit DFSPUP64 bootable USB stick (Xenial64) for modern systems while retaining the older Slacko 32-bit version for older ones. It has nice improvements in several areas: - A MUCH faster 'analyse disks' variant (DFSFAST) for existing partitions - Automatic disable of (Windows or OS/2) mouse-marking, to use TxWin marking - Revamped and more complete Help menu - Display of (IDE/SATA) disk serial numbers in the Linux version - Logfile (dfswork) not forced on startup anymore, use -l or menu to start one As usual there are also several minor problem fixes and enhancements. For details, see below. Note: Version 14.8 (or later) users can update directly using the menu: Help-> Program Updates / Downloads -> Get latest STABLE update (Works with the OS/2, Windows, Linux and macOS versions, if WGET is there) DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning, smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks, HEX/binary disk or file editing, filesystem and disk analysis, directory/file browsing with edit/view/copy capabilities and much more ...
