See Oct. 10 msg under topic "Announcements: X-Ways Forensics 15.8" at http://www.winhex.net/ (I think that is a public posting board.) I was surprised to see that, but assuming it was indeed your project they added support for, I congratulate you on the above. I'm curious what level of support they offer. In particular, they only offer limited support for NTFS shadow copies, so I'm curious if the next3 support is similarly limited. Or since next3 is GPL they may have been able to do a more comprehensive job with it than with ntfs shadow copies. Any info you have would be appreciated. Greg
