DFSee version 14.7 has been released.

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

- Identification of, and protection of UNKnown, enCRyPted and LargeFloPpy disks

- The OS/2 version now can be updated from the web using the Help menu (Get ...)
(requires a functioning WGET utility to be present)

- Linux and macOS screen handling has been enhanced to allow screens up to 768
characters wide, and the colors have been tuned further for readability

- Keyboard in Linux and macOS has been enhanced with Ctrl-Arrows and Shift-Fkeys

- HEX editor update for large screens and using 4K object size by default

- the Linux bootable USB stick DFSee-PUPPY has been updated to 14.7 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

(Will work with the regular 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.
