Symantec offers the Norton 4.5 command-line utilities on a separate disk.
When I got my NU 5.0, there was a flyer to send away for the disk (it was
free) and I instantly mailed it off.  The disk has DS, the old FF (renamed
to FL), LP, FA, and a few others that I've forgotten now.  Call them up!
If enough people pester them about it, they should get the message.  I mean,
user-friendly software is all fine and dandy, but it should also be
*expert* friendly!
