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

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.

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. For more info contact ISC at +1 (213) 453-8649.
