DumpDisk is a WIN32 program written in C++ using MSVC 1.1 and MFC 2.5. This
build has been compiled using MSVC 2.0 and MFC 3.0. With it, you can edit or
browse physical or logical disk volumes without file system format restrictions.

language. It offers the following features:
	- Report and print any disk devices physical/.logical informations
	- Edit any physical/logical disk volume,
	- Multi-threaded unicode search for any strings or filename,
	- Partial NTFS decoding.
	- Start/Stop events logs

Here are some tricks:
	- Every button take left and right button mouse event: use right button
	  to get some contextual help.
	- Inside the edit dialog box, right border can be resize to show an help
	  text.
	- To deal with unicode search, you need to install the 'lucida sans
	  console' font.

	- To get disk performances, you need to run 'diskperf -y'
