NORTON UTILITIES VERSION 5.0
Maintenance Release -  9/25/90
A maintenance release for the Norton Utilities Version 5.0 is
available to current owners who are experiencing any of the
following problems with their software:

1.	INSTALL (INSTALL.EXE).  This module had
	problems installing the Utilities from the
	3.5" diskettes in some hardware-specific 
	situations.   The symptom was that the
	INSTALL program would ask the user to 
	insert Diskette #6 during the installation,
	when there are only three 3.5" diskettes.
2.	NORTON CONTROL CENTER (NCC.EXE).  The /SET
	switch did not work as specified in 
	some situations.
3.	SPEED DISK (SPEEDISK.EXE or SD.EXE).
	a. Directory Sort.   Fixed a problem
	where the directory sort function 
	wouldn't sort the last two entries 
	in a directory.
	b. Directory Sort.  Fixed a problem
	where the /SD, /SN, /SS, and /SE 
	switches didn't work from the 
	command line.
4.	ALL PROGRAMS.  All Utilities did not function
	correctly under DOS 2.x.  DOS 2.x users should 
	contact us for replacement disks.
5.	XT CMOS RECOGNITION PROBLEMS.  In some cases
	the following programs would report invalid 
	CMOS values for XT-class machines:
	CALIBRATE (CALIBRAT.EXE)
	NORTON DISK DOCTOR (NDD.EXE)
	SYSTEM INFORMATION (SYSINFO.EXE or SI.EXE).
6.	FILE FIND (FILEFIND.EXE or FF.EXE).   Fixed a
	problem where the date and time were not being 
	set correctly when executed with the proper 
	switches from the command line.
7.	SAFE FORMAT (SFORMAT.EXE or SF.EXE).   Due to
	a BIOS bug, on some Toshiba 5100's Safe Format 
	reported a missing diskette error message.
	A check box has been added to the floppy 
	configuration dialog box so the user can turn
	off the check for a missing diskette.
Please check the dates and times of the files on your
Norton Utilities Version 5.0 diskettes.  If the dates and
times are 7/17/90 at 5:00 p.m., then you may need the
maintenance release.   If you already have files dated
