I read somewhere (this group or c.o.l.m) that it is possible to change
the size of a DOS partition (downward) to make room for a second
partition (for Linux of course).  Existing data on the DOS partition
is NOT LOST!   I didn't need to do this at the time, so (like an idiot) 
took no notice.

I seem to remember it was a special version of FDISK, or something
similar.  It was written by someone in the Linux community expressly
for the purpose above.  

What is its name?????   Where is it?????   Please help.

TIA,  Gaz
