NORTON DESKTOP for DOS - FAXBACK INFORMATION
Subject: Common Files - Norton Utilities / Norton Desktop for DOS

NORTON UTILITIES FILES THAT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THEIR
NORTON DESKTOP FOR DOS COUNTERPARTS:

The following files are common to both the Norton Utilities version 6.01 
and Norton Desktop for DOS version 1.0.  The files in the Norton Desktop 
for DOS should replace the Norton Utilities files.  These files can be 
deleted from your Norton Utilities directory.  Please insure that both 
your ND directory and your NU directory are on the path.  This will allow 
the Norton program to continue to function correctly and find the updated 
files in your ND directory.  Be sure to change any references in your 
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to point to the new files in the ND directory.

NORTON UTILITIES FILES WITH THE SAME FILENAME AS
NORTON DESKTOP FOR DOS FILES, BUT WITH SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FUNCTIONALITY

Some of the files included in the Norton Desktop for DOS have slightly
different functionality than their counterparts in Norton Utilities.
As a result, you may wish to keep both versions of these programs.

                The Norton Utilities version of DiskTool
                has an additional function, "Mark a Cluster."
                This function is not included in the Desktop
                version of DiskTool.  We recommend against
                deleting DISKTOOL from your Norton Utilities
                directory.

                requires slightly less memory, and as
                a result, can handle slightly larger
                directory structures.  Users with
                large-capacity hard disks containing many
                dozens of directories and many thousands
                of files may be able to use the Norton
                Utilities version of Disk Doctor if they

                directory structures.  Users with
                large-capacity hard disks containing many
                dozens of directories and many thousands
                of files may be able to use the Norton
                Utilities version of Speedisk if they
                receive a "Not Enough Memory" message from
                the Desktop version.

                of files may be able to use the Norton
                Utilities version of Unerase if they
