Date: Thu, 26 Jun 1997 11:36:07 -0400 Organization: EG Consulting Lines: 16 Message-ID: <MPG.e1c56251ebba7c0989737@news.skyia.com> Reply-To: ericg@techie.com NNTP-Posting-Host: ts3-13.skyia.com X-Newsreader: Anawave Gravity v1.10 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.os.linux.development.system:48258 comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:43565 I found the source to pfdisk on my Linux CD while looking for fdisk. I prefer it because it is portable to DOS and UNIX, but it doesn't look like it is being maintained by anyone. I will be updating it to make compatible with DOS 7.1 changes, unless someone else has done so. I will be documenting the DOS 7.X changes, too. I will be doing this primarily for DOS, so let me know if anyone need the UNIX version. I notice Linux now has three supported versions of fdisk. BTW, does the Linux kernel use the MS/IBM Int13 extensions to get disk geometry yet? -- Eric Gisin, London.on.ca -- Windows/UNIX/Internet Consulting http://www.webhaven.com/ericg/ mailto:ericg@techie.com
