- Very interesting. I am a long-time user of Norton Utilities, and had
- been running NDOS on my XT with MS-DOS 3.1. I have been trying to get
- advice (elsewhere) on whether NU is compatible with DR DOS. Reason:
- When I got my new computer I ran CALIBRATE to check out the hard drive,
- and it promptly trashed it. So I've been leery about other NU programs.
- Getting 4 more K is not an obsession (really), but NDOS has some other
- nice features, and NU has lots more.
-
- If you have any more information about NU and DR DOS in/compatability,
- please post.
