Because it is a "Swiss Army Knife" tool, to say "incomplete" is an oversimplification.
Wrong. The Web site CLEARLY states "It supports partition tables (FDISK, LVM), FAT, FAT32, HPFS, NTFS, and partly JFS, EXT2/3 or REISER filesystems."
"Partly" means "incomplete."
The OP wrote he was looking for a partition manager to run on windows, but he didn't say what he needed it to do. A house fully built can be considered complete. A house incomplete can nevertheless do part of its job to the extent portions of the house are complete. Once the roof is done, one expects that rain, snow, hail, tree branches and acorns will no longer be able to get past it. Note that "partly" above does not apply to partition tables. DFSee has filesystem functions available for the first listed that are incomplete or unavailable for the last. It's like that for this particular Swiss Army knife. Partition management is merely part of its job. AFAIK, it has no limitations (thus complete) regarding understanding or writing partition tables. Most software is like that. V1.0 is complete as far as it goes. So is V2.0, and V2.2, etc. Granted, part of a software author's job is docs. Being behind on them really is bad, but not fatal. -- "Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you." Psalm 55:22 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
