- Add a global SET AUTOZAP command or per drive SET <unit> AUTOZAP which removes metadata from disk containers at detach time if the container has metadata.
- DISKINFO command displays disk container metadata (if present) and container size along with detected file system information if a known file system type is present.

Compiling on windows is supported with recent versions of Microsoft Visual Studio (Standard or Express) and using GCC via the MinGW32 environment. Things may also work under Cygwin, but that is not the preferred windows environment. Not all features will be available as well as with either Visual Studio or MinGW32.
