Ok, here is the update

	http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/status.html

The 'NTFS - User Tool' part became quite impressive :) But maybe some
explanation for some entries:

	ntfsck		Started

It's basically the code what ntfsresize & ntfsclone does now. From the 3
pass of Windows chkdsk, this is the 1st one. The second is directory check
the 3rd is the security attributes, etc checks. Well, more or less AFAIR.

I also have same minimal code somewhere that does the /r (check for bad
sectors) part. I had to artificially create bad sectors to test how
ntfsresize can handle them. 

	ntfsdefrag  	Started

Code from ntfsresize I'm doing (very slowly).

        ntfsimage       Started
        restorimage	Started 

Ian's tools but I don't now what happened with him ... In a Debian
tool, chiark-utils ntfsimage is refered/used :-o

Just minor updates to some entries. Nothing fancy or really new,
I'm not a writer type :)
