Subject: ptbl - DOS partition table editor for Linux
From: Terry Kyriacopoulos <tkyr@pathcom.com>
ptbl is a flexible and powerful alternative to fdisk (and easier to use
than sfdisk).
Features:
- supports multiple extended partitions
- will change the table geometry in one command
- non-destructive relocation of extended partition boundaries
- accepts CHS and LBA input addresses
- user control of all link sector locations
- displays complete table information, including link locations
- complete overlap checking
- validation for DOS and legacy CHS partitions
- command-line interface
A beta release is now available at www.pathcom.com/~terrykyr/ptbl-0.1.tgz

Friday 2007 02 02 I released PeaZip 1.3:
- 7z frontend is updated, now supporting in-archive add/update and
delete operations for archive types supported through Pavlov/Myspace
7z executables;
- added support (create, browse, extract) for Matt Mahoney's PAQ8F and
Bill Pettis's PAQ8JD;
- some minor updates and fixes: extension not stripped in BZip2
compressed files, "Open with" dialog for Extract and run under Windows
when file association is not resolved.
