DFSee 4.02

For those of you that don't know DFSee yet, it is an FDISK-like, display, analysis and recovery tool for disks and filesystems.

DFSee is a command-line and text-only utility (no GUI). This allows usage from simple boot-diskettes for recovery. The package includes an OS/2, Win-NT and DOS version.

DFSee can be downloaded from my web-site, but after evaluation, and for all real use you are required to get a registration. It can be purchased from the Mensys online shop for about US $18.

Details can be found at http://www.fsys.demon.nl/dfsee.htm.

Version 4.02 updates and fixes:

• New argv/option parser used (recover -u -8.3 -q ...)
• Better scaling in FAT alloc display; show last-used cluster - Fixed find-free BMPRIMARY entry causing create to fail - Fixed HPFS 'fixboot' with wrong superblock contents
• Fixed NTFS 'findroot' when start is no MFT record
• Read-failure msg on OpenDisk (error 31)
• Fixed HPFS delfind for invalid parent Fnode

Registering DFSee will give you the right to use all 4.xx versions and get support plus a reasonable amount of assistance by email.

But even more important, it enables further development of DFSee!

PS: I will be on a vacation until the 15th of september, so email will not be answered until then... The good news: I will have some time to work on DFSee too :-)
