   I'm impressed too, but I'm even more impressed by resize2fs because
   this is what I really want. It's not important for me to do these operations
   in an active state.

   Is there a chance that this will be released to the public?

It will definitely be eventually released to the public in source form,
under the GPL.  The reason for the delay is because Powerquest (which
paid for the development of this feature) wants people who need this
feature right away to purchase Partition Magic, which is only
reasonable.

(Besides, if enough people support Partition Magic, thus proving that a
market really exists, maybe I can pursuade them to port their entire
product to Linux, which would be really neat.  Imagine being able to
resize DOS, NTFS, and ext2fs filesystems and partitions, all without
having to boot a Microsoft OS!)
