New release of the ancient HDInstTools program.
A lot of bugfixes done.

History:

6.5

- Bugfix: In "Edit Partition", custom dos types (e.g. PFS\2) were replaced
  by the default RESV whenever HDInstTools was started again. This made the
  use of custom filesystems like SFS, AFS or PFS nearly impossible.


6.4

- Added TD64 and NSD support to the DOS Format functions!
  It is now safe to format partitions beyond the 4GB barrier!

- Added RDBLOW tooltype for creating the RDB on different sectors
- Added RDBSPACE tooltype for reserving space for RDB
- Updated tooltypes in documentation


6.3

- Fixed wrong calculation of drive size, if drive is >4GB


6.2

- Enhanced method for calculating drive geometry

- Leaves more room for FileSystems & DriveInit data in the RDB area.
  This is important, if OktaPussy users wish to add the device driver
  into the RDB.


6.1

- First release of the reworked version


Enhancements:

- Supports different sector sizes
- Supports big harddisks (> 2GB)
