Just for the record .... The old "1.0/pkgs" FDISKS.ZIP package actually has "source/fdisk/cats396s.zip" inside it. And the related FDISKX.ZIP (.LSM calling itself 1.3.0 from 2003) actually also has XFdisk and SPFdisk (also from 2003?). A quick check on iBiblio didn't find any better location of SPFdisk at all. The "dos/fdisk" subdir on iBiblio also has "xfdisk" subdir, but that is just a symlink to "util/disk/xfdisk". So there should probably also be a subdir for "spfdisk". A quick search shows that apparently SPFdisk used to be on SourceForge but no longer is (dunno why). The only site I could now find, presumably official, is http://spferng.myweb.hinet.net/ . Of course, most of it isn't English, but Google Translate helps a little. The main site seems to mention "2009/04/15" and "2000-03v". The download page has five prebuilt binaries (all inside RAR sfx .EXEs) and one source .7z archive. The various builds are mostly for nls/i18n: traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, Braille (??), English (graphical?), and English text mode. The (GPLv2+) sources are apparently for TC 2.0 and MASM v6. Technically, the .7z archive seems to have been created on 2010-02-04, so that appears to have been the latest update. (I also touched the archive files' dates so that they would match last update.) So, assuming this is good enough for our uses and consistent with previous mirroring, I'm going to copy these files (verbatim) to iBiblio for us. If Jim Hall or anyone decides that RAR sfx is too annoying, that can be fixed later. I would just rather have an official mirror (obviously) rather than accidentally relying on older, hidden, or missing versions. So you can now easily find SPFdisk at two places (both pointing to the former, but the latter is more canonical I suppose): 1). http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/disk/spfdisk 2). http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/fdisk/spfdisk/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
