ptbl is a flexible and powerful alternative to fdisk (and easier to use
than sfdisk).

Features:
- supports multiple extended partitions
- will change the table geometry in one command
- non-destructive relocation of extended partition boundaries
- accepts CHS and LBA input addresses
- user control of all link sector locations
- displays complete table information, including link locations
- complete overlap checking
- validation for DOS and legacy CHS partitions
- command-line interface

A beta release is now available at www.pathcom.com/~terrykyr/ptbl-0.1.tgz

Why do we need an alternative to fdisk (or cfdisk)?

Oh, so you'd like all of us to entrust our partition tables to a "beta
release" of some new product of yours, huh?

Right........ sure.
