The new (4.01) release of Norton Utilities has changed the SD program
so that it warns you before starting the compress that there will be
problems if you have FASTOPEN or some similar cache program.

When SD is finished, if you exit with any character *other* than ESC,
it forces a reboot to protect the integrity of the system.  If you *know*
that you don't have a cache program, you can still exit to DOS by hitting
the ESC key.
