   ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++    
      
   From: jvwDESPAM@DESPAMdfsee.com   
      
   DFSee version 13.4 has been released.     
      
   It is a MINOR release, but with some significant new functionality:     
      
      
   1)   
   The support for the EXT2, EXT3 and EXT4 filesystems has been   
   expanded to include ALL the DFSee features like:     
      
    - File recovery, copy files from an inaccessible filesystem to a   
    location on another drive, even from DOS, Windows, OS/2 or OS-X   
    - Generate a complete 'Sector Lookup Table' for CHECKing the FS   
    - Display of, and navigation through the whole directory structure   
    - Display EXTn features like blockgroup information and superblock   
    backup locations.     
      
       
      
   2)   
   Automatic 'Run as Administrator' on Windows-7, 8 or 10, when using   
   the DFSee icons added to the Windows start-menu, and proper sizing   
   of the tex-mode window. Better DFSDISK and DFSCHECK scripts.     
      
      
   3)   
   Automatic 'SUDO' in the supplied shell-scripts for Linux and Mac OS-X,   
   and a better 'setup' script creating symbolic links in /usr/local/bin   
   so you can now start the scripts from ANYWHERE, and they will still   
   find all required DFSee support files. Installation is as easy as:     
      
    - Download the DFSee distribution (like 'dfsee13x.zip)   
    - Extract to a directory of your choice (like a home directory)   
    - cd to the DFSee directory with the Linux or Mac executables   
    - 'chmod 744 setup'   
    - './setup'     
      
   And from then on, you can start DFSee from ANY (data, logging) directory   
   using any of the script names: dfs, dfsdisk, dfscheck, dfsedit and so on     
      
       
      
      
   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.
