DFSee version 14.8 has been released.  

MINOR release, meaning you get it for FREE if you have a 14.x key already.
However, there are some nice new features and some bug fixes in there!  


 - HEX editor update for a fixed 16x32 size (activate/toggle with Alt-T/Ctrl-F2)  

 - More control over color usage, with new 'set palet' command / menu-items  

 - More color tuning and key-definitions for various Linux terminal programs  

 

The Linux bootable USB stick DFSee-PUPPY has been updated to 14.8 too
See the screenshots and additional info at:  

 http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/cdrom#usb

 Note: existing users of the PUPPY stick can update directly using the menu:  

 Help->
 Program Updates / Downloads ->
 Get latest STABLE update  

 (May work with the regular OS/2, Linux and macOS versions too, if WGET is there)  

 

DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning,
smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks,
filesystem and disk analysis, directory/file browsing with
edit/view/copy capabilities including limited UNDELETE.
