Dear g4u user community,

after some absence (job-related) and technical problems (building of 
NetBSD failing for me from Mac OS X), I'm very happy to release a beta 
version of g4u with some long-overdue changes. Those include being able to 
backup/restore the MBR, which includes the partition table - needed when 
recovering single partitions to a new disk. Also, the various commands 
reading disks are now adjusted to not abort when a disk sector cannot be 
used. Instead, the bad bytes are skipped and the rest of the disk is 
recovered. Please give me feedback on this feature as I didn't have a bad 
disk to test this! Other news include a command to wipe a disk by 
completely overwriting it with 0-bytes (once). Last, command line editing 
was enabled - finally!

Remember that this is a test release, so your feedback is wanted - either 
to me in person, or to the g4u-help mailing list. Thanks!
