I would expect it to load regardless of drive size, but you never know.

Take a look at dfsee. It's got limited resize support now and more is
coming. With large hard drives and LVM, it's often easier and faster to
just copy the partitions to a new home and change volume letters.

The online help is via the various help commands (i.e. help, ?, ??, ???).
The external documentation is all in the text files (i.e. dfs*.txt).

F4 is an alias for SCRFILE. That's not what you are looking for. You
want PSAVE and PRESTORE which are discussed in dfsfdisk.txt.
