There is a MUCH better (share)ware package called PQMAGIC. It's a program
for MS-DOG and Windoze95. You can probably find it on shareware.com or
similar sites (use a search).

I wanna try this out myself, it supports FAT, VFAT, Novell, NTFS, and
Linux ext2 filesystems. What's more, it's not "just" a nondestructive
partitioner, it can GROW FILESYSTEMS (i.e. resize existing partitions).
This is what interests me, because the only OS I know of with
nondestructive filesystem resizing is IRIX, and I don't have that at
home..
