From: Jan van Wijk <jvw@dfsee.com>

DFSee version 8.05 has been released today.

This version extends the powerful HEX/ASCII sector editor to work directly 
on (binary) files as well, keeping the size the same.
 >From the operating system level, just use a command like:

         DFSOS2 edit somefile.bin


Cloning disks with bad-sectors is improved to allow MUCH faster operation, 
and will be enhanced even more in the next versions.

Searching for files in most filesystems has been made a lot faster too, 
using several enhancements to the FIND command.

Several smaller improvements like new menu-items have been made and a few 
bugs and inconsistencies have been fixed ...

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.
