- 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.
