It seems to need more than 40 seconds to start viewing the readme but here it is for people that don't know what this program can do :

Features
--------
 o FAST seeking. Even in extremely large files.
 o FAST reading of directories.
 o FAST reading/writing of files.
 o FAST defragmentation routines (built-in optimiser).
 o Disk space is used VERY efficiently.
 o Blocksizes of 512 bytes up to 32768 bytes are supported.
   (512 BYTES FOR BEST PERFORMANCE)
 o The length of file and dir names can be 107 characters. The lenght
   of 'pathes' can be 255 characters (AmigaDOS)
 o Volumename can be 30 characters (AmigaDOS)
 o The length of comments can be 79 characters (like FFS)
 o The size of a file is limited to 2 GB (AmigaDOS)
 o Support for partitions larger than 4 GB or located (partially)
   beyond the 4 GB barrier on your drive.  There is support for the
   New Style Devices (NSD) and the 64-bit trackdisk commands (TD64)
   which support 64 bit access.
 o Supports large partitions. The limit is about 2 TB, but it can be
   more depending on the blocksize (32KB/Block -> 128 TB). Yes! ;-)
 o Modifying data on your disk is very safe.  Even if your system is
   resetted, crashes or suffers from powerloss your disk will not be
   corrupted and will not require long validation procedures before
   you will be able to use it again. In the worst case you will
   only lose the last few modifications made to the disk.
 o There is a built-in configurable read-ahead cache system which
   tries to speed up small disk accesses.  This cache has as a
   primary purpose to speed up directory reading but also works very
   well to speed up files read by applications which use small
   buffers.
 o Supports Notification and ExamineAll.
 o Supports softlinks (hardlinks are not supported for now).
 o Using the SFSformat command you can format your SFS partition with
   case sensitive file and directory names. Default is case insensitive
   (like FFS).
 o There is a special directory which contains the last 350 (!) files
   which were deleted. (see sfsformat.txt)
