NTFSDOS Pro 5.0 is out - China DOS Union Forum - China DOS Union

Today I found that NTFSDOS Pro 5.0 is already out, and I tried it, but found that it is about the same as NTFSDOS Pro 4.0, with almost no updates at all, and it's not even as easy to use as the old NTFSDOS Pro 3.12. Really...

The 10 major characteristics of NTFSDOS Pro 4.0/5.0 are:

1: Very large conventional memory usage (150-250KB);
2: Even larger XMS memory usage (after installation, XMS memory is basically empty);
3: Still does not support Chinese long filenames (can't load c_936.nls);
4: Too large in size; it simply won't fit on one standard 1.44MB floppy disk;
5: Poor compatibility, cannot handle NTFS partitions from other versions properly (for example NTFS partitions from WinNT4 and Win2K);
6: Once loaded, it can't be exited at all (no /U option);
7: Too many BUGs, making NTFS partitions very unstable during operation;
8: Weak functionality; after loading, it's simply impossible to use other disk tools to operate on NTFS partitions;
9: Has compatibility problems with some software, such as DOSLFN, EDIT, etc.;
10: The NTFSDOS installer actually cannot run under DOS, and even when run under WIN it requires preparing two floppy disks for full-disk writing.

And it also has issues like registration and usage time limits.

With this kind of development, I think when facing WINPE-type boot disks, this software no longer has any room to survive, right?

NTFSDOS 5.0 and the like seem to be products of Winternal, right? I feel ERD 2002/2003 is already done pretty well, supports NTFS read/write, so why insist on using NTFSDOS, what do you think?

No way, I think ERD isn't very useful except for that password-changing function, isn't that so?
On the contrary, NTFSDOS pro is more useful

The previously easy-to-use NTFSDOS Pro 3.12 can't be downloaded. Please update it, webmaster.

Which one is the best to use now, 3.12 or 4.03cs?
Does 3.12 support XP? The software only says 2000/nt
