   From: jvwDESPAM@DESPAMdfsee.com   
      
   DFSee version 14.0 has been released, with new functionality and several   
   fixes.     
      
   It is a MAJOR release, and the first to offer a filemanager-like BROWSE dialog   
   giving very easy to use access to file viewing, editing and copying/recovery.   
   The BROWSE functionailty is implemented for FAT, ExFAT, NTFS, JFS, HPFS and   
   EXT3/4     
      
   Also for the first time there is DIRECT access to DFSee compressed images   
   (.IMZ)   
   including BROWSING the filesystems in that image, this is a user-friendly way   
   to restore individual file(s) out of such an aimage, making them more suitable   
   to use as a partition backup method.     
      
   Then it lets you mount VirtualBox .VDI disk images as a disk inside DFSee,   
   so you can use partitioning functions or access the partitions and filesystems   
   in them without the need to start a virtual machine.     
      
      
   Of course, as usual, there are also many smaller improvements and bug fixes.     
      
      
   DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning,   
   filesystem and disk analysis, file recovery/UNDELETE and   
   smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks.     
      
      
   This being a major release, it will require an upgrade if you currently   
   have a registration for an older version:
