I use OS/2 1.3 EE, and tried to use Norton Utilities in the DOS box.
Everything works fine, but the most important feature, unerasing a file
does NOT work...

I tried Norton 4.5, Norton 5.0 and even PC-Tools, but they all give report
something like 'error: can't write directory'

I think this has to do with the FAT extended-attribute support OS/2 1.3
offers, because Norton did work with OS/2 1.1

Note: when I boot real DOS, everything is normal: I can unerase the files!

Any hints ??

Thanks,
Matthijs van Doorn
