We are indeed porting the Norton Utilities, though reimplementing turns out
to be a better word -- undeleting files under Unix is handled completely
differently that it was under DOS, for example.  We'll be shipping it sometime
this year (he said, vaguely) initially on 386 systems, soon after on others.

If anyone wants to send me a paper mail address, I'll send you an announcement
when it's ready.
