Yes, I have. It works pretty good too, usually. Does just what it
says. Thanks for mentioning it, Frank. I see that they have a newer
version (1.31) than the one I'm using (1.3). I'll upgrade it.

It's very good. But it can not display double-byte characters stored on
HDD.

IIRC, you can not use it to modify the contents of an HDD.

PTS-DiskEditor

Will allow you to modify/edit contents on a HDD.

Note: The PTS-DiskEditor will NOT function under WinNT/2000/XP !
However, it makes an excellent repair tool when using a DOS Boot disk, and
is very helpful in changing the MBRs of WinNT/2000/XP OSs.
