Simple functions like VL (volume label) are now hidden away within other programs and are hard to find. The disk editor is very complicated and far too flashy. However, on the plus side, I do find Disk Doctor II very useful and DiskFix seems to out-perform the other utilities on success rates. I'm sure you would agree that UnErase is much easier to use in it's new menu form, and many new commands have been added to make the Batch-Enhancer more powerful. I have noticed a small bug in FileFind. When you go to the change attributes menu and move over to the right hand side of the menu, multiple mouse pointers appear. Is it just my copy that does this, or is it a bug in Norton 5.0 ? Dominic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dominic J.
