I saw the recommendation here for the new Norton Utilitities ( I think it's
now called NUM). I've also seen an ad in a mac mag for something new
called "Personal Utilities." After a scare last semester one hour before
a take-home final was due (it got deleted, and I had to borrow
somebody's Norton Utilities to restore it) I've been looking around for
a good set of disk utilities. Can anybody tell me how "Personal
Utilities" compares to Norton? Are there any drawbacks to Norton? Any
good disk utilities I should know about?
	
I'm mainly interested in an undelete utilitiy, but I'd like the extras
like defragmenting, disk repair, and so on. 

I suspect that this is a topic of general enough interest that replies
ought to be posted directly to the board, rather than e-mailed to me.
