Hello Steve,
Some of the code's pretty braindead, too. Especially what looks to have come from IBM. I mean...house styles vary, but Algolization is still just hideous-looking. But it goes beyond that - think some of the utilities are going to need major rewrites. I'm thinking of writing a new front-end around the FDISK code, but I haven't really been able to take the code and sort through everything to figure out what parts I'll need in order for FDISK to...fdisk (and don't know enough about int13, MBR or FAT to do it my damnself). I was looking into D-Flat, but my brain melted - might have to write bespoke UI code.
does the Microsoft FDISK provide a feature you are missing in Free FDISK, or is it because of the license thing you mentioned, or for pure fun? Writing a new frontend code for Microsoft FDISK would be a massive effort. This would probably take as long as a clean sheet design, and then it will still not handle large disks, FAT-32 and so on...
If you want to deal with partition managers, there is also the option of contributing to Free FDISK ;)
