FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FWB Ships Partition Toolkit Version 1.0 -Easy-to-use disk utility resizes drive partitions on the fly- Redwood City, Calif., (November 27th, 2002)--- FWB Software, a leading developer of software utilities for the Macintosh, today announced the immediate availability of Partition Toolkit. Partition Toolkit features a streamlined user interface for creating, deleting, and easily modifying drive partitions. With Partition Toolkit, users can resize Macintosh formatted volumes to make them smaller, and then use the new free space to create an extra volume in the format of their choice. The four formats supported by Partition Toolkit for volume creations include HFS (Mac OS Standard File System), HFS+ (Mac OS Extended File System), MS-DOS, and LinuxPPC. "Normally a drive volume can not be easily resized without destroying the data contained within. Adding extra partitions or volumes to a drive usually involves the painful procedure of backing up the data, reformatting, partitioning the drive, and restoring the data," said Marko Kostyrko, FWB's Director of Product Development. "FWB Partition Toolkit was created to automate the procedure of resizing and creating new volumes on the fly without the need to move your data to a temporary storage." "There are many benefits of partitioning a drive into more than one volume. For example, a machine running OS 9 and OS X can have the operating systems separated from each other and data becomes easier to maintain and manage. In addition, a volume can be secured with other disk utilities as a read-only or a password protected partition. Partition Toolkit is a must for anyone who has better things to do than shuffling data back and forth in order to create additional volumes." concluded Marko Kostyrko. Pricing, Availability and System Requirements Partition Toolkit 1.0 is now available for the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $24.95. Partition Toolkit requires: Mac OS 8.6 or Mac OS 9.X, Power Macintosh CPU with G3 or G4 processor, 16 MB of available RAM, and SCSI or IDE hard disk.
