   fixes   
   ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++    
      
   From: jvwDESPAM@DESPAMdfsee.com   
      
   DFSee version 12.1 has been released, with new functionality and several   
   fixes.     
      
   It is a MINOR release, with support for the EXFAT filesystem as the   
   main added feature, and several other small enhancements and fixes.     
      
   EXFAT is a 32-bit FAT filesystem optimized for (very large) removable media   
   like SD-cards used with cameras. It has an additional allocation-bitmap that   
   avoids a lot of the normal overhead when writing contiguous files. It is   
   now supported by Windows, OS-X and Linux, and is the recommended filesystem   
   for SD-cards larger than 32Gb.     
      
      
   DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning,   
   filesystem and disk analysis, some file recovery and UNDELETE   
   and smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks.
