- disk drives and individual partitions, or the roll out of numerous
- machines of similar configuration. Further information on Norton Ghost
- and its use is included in the Norton Ghost User's Guide and the online

- ===============
-
- Ghost Multicast Server

- The Ghost Multicast Server is available for several platforms. In
- combination with Norton Ghost, the Ghost Multicast Server enables
- multiple machines to be cloned simultaneously using a single
- efficient stream of information sent over a computer network.
- Further information on Norton Ghost and its use is included in the
- Norton Ghost User's Guide and the online documentation text files
- included in the "MCAST" directory.
-
- Ghost Walker
- ============
- Ghost Walker (GWEVAL.EXE) is a Security Identifer (SID) update
- utility that assigns a new statisitically unique SID to an
- Windows NT workstation and updates the NT volume with the new
- SID. Further information is included in the online documentation
- text file located in the "WALKER" directory.
-
- Ghost Explorer
- ==============
- Ghost Explorer is a Windows 9x or NT program, looking similar to
- Windows Explorer, which can open a GHOST image file and restore
- and delete individual files or entire directory structures from it.
- It can also launch Norton Ghost in batch mode to create an image
- file, using Windows dialog boxes to prompt for the disk and
- partition to dump. Further information is included in the
- Windows online help file installed during installation, and the
- online documentation text file included in the "EXPLORER" directory.
-
- GDISK
- =====
- GDISK is a fixed disk partioning utility, and is intended as a
- complete replacement for the DOS/Windows 9x FDISK utility.
- GDISK includes all FDISK functionality along with several additional
- enhancements and features like on-the-fly-formatting and improved
- performance. GDISK is command line driven, unlike FDISK which uses
- interactive menus and prompts. Further information is included in

- "GDISK" directory.
