The major advantage of upgrading to the new Norton (and/or PC-Tools) is
that the older versions don't always know how to work properly with
Dos 5.0. I have a slight preference for Norton over Central Point stuff,
although Central Point does include a lot of other stuff in their package
but I don't need or want it. Norton is somewhat lighter in size and
concentrates more on essential disk utilities and recovery. the new
Central Point PC-Tools takes up many, many MB's, if you install everything
I think it can be 7-8 MB or so.
