   If you're a Norton Utilities customer you may find something familiar in
   your next upgrade.  The "NDOS" command interpreter included with NU 6.0
   is a version of 4DOS 3.03 licensed from JP Software, and enhanced for 
   Symantec's Peter Norton Division.  We're excited about this opportunity
   to distribute 4DOS technology to a broader base of users; we're also
   pleased that Symantec found 4DOS to be a valuable addition to its top of
   the line utility product, and we look forward to a continuing
   relationship in support of NDOS.  

   JP Software retains full ownership of 4DOS and will continue to sell,
   support, and enhance 4DOS as an independent product, offering
   individual copies, resale copies, and site licenses to meet the needs
   of all customers.  In fact, we will release a major upgrade to 4DOS
   later this summer, with a wide variety of new features and other
   significant improvements.

   The new release of 4DOS will include the features found in NDOS which
   go beyond those available in the current released version of 4DOS,
   version 3.03 (for example, additional environment variables and
   variable functions), with the exception of features specific to
   Symantec's product (like internal support for a subset of the Norton
   Utilities BE command).  In addition, the new release will offer a
   host of new features and capabilities unique to 4DOS.

   Please contact us if you have any questions regarding 4DOS.  Technical
   or other questions about NDOS should of course be directed to Symantec's
   Peter Norton Division.
