I have heard (or read) that Peter Norton (famous for Norton Utilities and Norton Advanaced Utilities amongst other things) has a Norton's Advanced Utilities for XENIX. Apparently it does all the things that the DOS one does (fixes fragmented hard drives, file recovery, etc). Does anyone know if this is true? If so, does anyone know the price? Thanks Eric -- Eric C.

I don't believe that it is true. I recall reading in UNIX Review (or some other industry rag) that it is currently available for Interactive's 386, and ports are planned for SCO UNIX. There wasn't any mention of an SCO XENIX version, or plans to port. MD -- -- Michael P.

The Norton Utilities for System V is currently only available for INTERACTIVE UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2, Version 2.0 or higher; or AT&T's UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2. It includes a subset of the Advanced Utilities plus a couple of new functions. Although Norton UnErase and Norton Disk Explorer are included in the product, "fixing fragmented hard drives" (Norton Disk Doctor) and "file recovery" (Norton File Recovery), et al, are not yet included. Note: all of the utilities in the product are real, fully integrated, UNIX programs not DOS programs.
