Yesterday I posted an article that stated that the Norton Utilities (the
buggy v4.5 that came out prior to 1/3/89) "destroys data."  This was WRONG!

The bugs in the DISK DOCTOR caused it to screw up the partition table under
certain conditions.  However, the data on the disk was NOT corrupted, and if
the partition table was properly rebuilt, the data was accessable again.

My apologies to the net and Peter Norton Computing, Inc, for the error.
