Gary A. Allen, Jr., (Prentice Center, Queensland, Australia) submits his PART utility for examining the partition table and hard disk parameters under MS-DOS. PART works with all MS-DOS compatible hard disks and provides additional low-level information on Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) disk controllers. Allen notes that although there are powerful partition editors available, all of them run the risk of accidently changing these critical disk parameters. Since PART is a read-only display, the partition tables remain secure at all times. PART includes full source in C and claims compatability with the Borland C/C++ compiler. PART version 1.5, as released on 10/27/93, now appears on CUG #410.
