DFSee version 8.01 has been released

The OS/2 version has enhancements for FORMAT and LVM handling
for removable media. And of course there are several other
updates to the userinterface and a few bug-fixes ...


DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning,
filesystem and disk analysis, file recovery, UNDELETE for HPFS
JFS, and NTFS, resizing, imaging and cloning.
