DiskWarrior 4.1 offers full Leopard compatibility

DiskWarrior 4.1, Leopard
Alsoft today unveiled DiskWarrior 4.1, an update to its disk and file repair utility, bringing Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard compatibility and support for the new operating system’s features. The new version is able to scan and repair damaged directory hard links, which are used by Time Machine backups; Alsoft claims DiskWarrior 4.1 is the only utility on the market that can repair these issues. DiskWarrior 4.1 is available from Alsoft’s website for $100.
Existing owners of DiskWarrior 4 will soon be able to download a free CD updater, which will allow users to create a bootable DiskWarrior 4.1 disc. Alsoft did not mention when this updater will become available.

I dont understand why the updater isn't available at the exact same time as the version you purchase. Why is it that loyal customers are always screwed by this company?

Using a Mac without DiskWarrior is like working the high trapeze without a safety net.

Disk Warrior is THE Mac utility!
I've been using DW from Day One and it's saved my disks, my files, my work, my BUTT more times than I can possibly remember.
I'll cut Alsoft some slack.

How is releasing an update a few days after the new version is available on the store "screwed by this company"?
I've been using DiskWarrior since version 2, maybe longer. I rarely need it anymore, but the once or twice a year I do need to reach for it, it usually comes through. And that's on 100+ Macs.
I trust DiskWarrior far far more than TechTool, which has a very Quark like attitude toward their customers.

That's a good way to put it!
I've been anxiously awaiting this DW update. Hopefully the updater will be available soon.
