Therefore I take it here. And I have scanned comp.msdos.apps to see if it is a newsgroup for dos applications really. There were very few articles discussing commercial products and there was a discussion about 4dos which is partially shareware, delievered in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d so I think it is very floating what belongs here and there to people. I think it would be better to have ONE group for this! But over to Norton 5.0. Yes I have tried it and I agree with Otto J. Makela The principle of combining several programs into one is not good and this menuing shit.... I think of ts which in Norton 5.0 is useless. I want ts to work like grep in unix and I have up to now been using both. I use grep when I want to see which files are interesting for the string and ts when I want to locate where in the file the interesting part is. I do not want to have this over-coat of going in and out of several programs to this. I have a suggestion, sell Norton Utilities in two versions, Norton Utilities and Norton Utilities Advanced. And let the difference be that Norton Utilities is for the menu freaks and Norton Utilities Advanced is for us programmers. And why is lp gone in version 5.0 ? And if you want it you have to save lp from release 4.5 But what about all that people that do not have 4.5 ???????? ########################################################################## # # # JAN WESTER E-mail address : jan@enea.se # # ENEA DATA # # Stockholm Sweden # # # ##########################################################################
