DOS ain't dead - Ranish Partition Manager revived

Ranish Partition Manager revived (Announce)

I uploaded version 2.90.08. Several FAT related bugs should be gone. I was able to create a FAT32 partition spanning the whole 2TiB disk.

I also was able to put FreeDOS onto the partition and boot from it. But it seems that the FreeDOS SYS command puts new boot code into the MBR, which could not successfully boot the partition. I had to uninstall the SYS provided boot code with RANISH using the "uninstall boot manager by loading standard IPL" command. After that FreeDOS successfully booted.
