> Install PFS3 V5.3 using the icon. DO NOT copy files directly from the
  CD onto you harddrive.



Changes since PFS 3 V5.1 (revision 18.3)
----------------------------------------


> Shared read-write

  MODE_FINDOUTPUT is now a fully shared lock. In previous releases it was
  single writer multiple reader, now it is multiple writer multiple reader.
  Some programs like Apache had problems with this.

> Fixed bug: Deldir date

  When using list the dates in the deldir were incorrect

> Fixed bug: Possible crash when listing deldir

  If the deldir contains some very large files, PFS3 could crash while listing
  the deldir.


Changes since PFSDoctor V1.3
----------------------------

> new feature: Undo Format

  Use 'undo format' to get a partition back that has accidentally been quick
  formatted.

> new feature: Search Filesystem

  Use 'search filesystem' if your RDB is lost and you don't remember where the
  partitions are. Search Filesystem searches the specified device for PFS3
  partitions. If it finds one you are offered the option to save a mountfile.
  The mountfile contains all the information needed to rebuild the RDB for that
  partition or can be used for manual mounting. PFSdocter continues by checking
  the partition and searching for the next one.

> repairing NON DOS disks

  PFSDoctor now can also repair non-dos disks

> improved performance

> bugfix: pfsdoctor sometimes left the partition in an invalid state after repair
  and had to be run two times.
