Here's a rather strange and ironic thing: This evening, as I was out
finding a few more Web server daemons to add to the list at
http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/#djb , I found that one of the authors'
personal pages had a hyperlink for "partition-magic-6.img". I was
curious, so I pulled it down: 1.44 MB file, yep. Mounted it as a loop
device: Hmm! It's an MS-DOS 6.22 boot floppy that mounts a RAMdisk and
then unpacks Partition Magic v. 6 into the latter.
Whee! I get to violate the copyrights of both Microsoft Corporation and
PowerQuest Corp., if I wish. Ah, temptation.
