Subject: Announcement of Atari fdisk 0.4

Here it comes... a new version of Atari fdisk.

In difference to my previous announcement, I've skipped a real 0.3
version after pre-0.3, because there were too much changes and these
already justify a version jump.

Atari fdisk should be sufficiently stable now, at least for the normal
cases. I don't expect it to trash your disk anymore (but --just in
case-- you would have a backup, don't you? :-) I've now tested it
with numerous cases (I've built a test disk into my TT especially for
this...), and also a few other people have used pre-0.3 successfully.

There are numerous minor changes all over the program, but the most
important are:

 - Supports moving of partitions now (without making filesystems
   invalid!) Please remember that the moving process is possibly
   dangerous, if interrupted somehow. fdisk warns you of that...

 - In the last version, I've forgotten an important conditions for
   extended partitions: The aux. root sector of the first extended
   part. must also be the first sector in the XGM area, i.e. the
   minimum disk extent covering all extended partitions. This is
   necessary because the XGM entry in the real root sector points to
   this sector. Checks for this condition have been added in many
   functions, and new_partition() has been extensively rewritten to
   offer only valid partition types and ars locations.

 - In expert mode, there's an additional function to move the aux.
   root sector of an extended partition.

 - Several checks added to verify function.

I think 0.4 will be the last alpha version. If there are no big
problems and (the surely present...) minor bugs get fixed, the next
version will come without ALPHA_VERSION defined, and thus won't ask
before each sector write anymore.
