   [VOICENWS] SW: DFSee 11.2 released   
   08 Jul 12 15:09:30   
   
   Jul 2012 19:59:50 -0400   
   ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++    
      
   From: jvwDESPAM@DESPAMdfsee.com   
      
   DFSee version 11.2 has been released today     
      
   It has some significant new features for FAT, GPT/EFI and MAC:   
   - Resizing a FAT(32) partition can now make it larger as well as   
    smaller, so you can finally EXPAND your FAT32 partitions too.   
   - It correctly reads and interprets the GPT partitioning info   
    so you see the actual partitions, and not just the MBR-guard.   
   - It understands more of the MAC HFS+ filesystem, including its   
    allocation information so the 'alloc' command and smart imaging   
    or cloning now work for HFS+ too.   
   - FreeDOS for the Bootable CD/USB-stick has been upgraded to use   
    the latest 2012 kernel and disk drivers     
      
   And of course there are many more small fixes and enhancements ...     
      
      
   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.
