sda4: commit the Glaze developer hard-drive dump

Browse Source 
Un-ignored: the dev drive is the ground truth the restoration and
emulator work constantly reference (DPL3/LIBDPL + VRENDER i860 renderer
source, BT/RP live+dev game trees, VGL_LABS pod boot, scene/audio
content). Kept in-repo for the pod-owner community.

Welcome to the Norton Utilities Version 5.0!
------------------------------------------------
This file contains information which doesn't appear in the manual.
If you would like to print this file, type:
COPY READ.ME PRN:
at the DOS prompt.
**** General Information ****
Many of the programs in Norton Utilities Version 4.5 have been combined in
the Norton Utilities Version 5.0. Most of the previous program names have also
been changed. These changes are noted in the following list:
Utility Name 4.5 Filename 5.0 Filename
Batch Enhancer BE ---------- BE
Directory Sort DS ---------- Speedisk
Disk Information DI ---------- Sysinfo
Disk Test DT ---------- NDD
File Attributes FA ---------- Filefind
File Date/Time FD ---------- Filefind
File Find FF ---------- Filefind
File Information FI ---------- Filefind
Format Recover FR ---------- Unformat
File Size FS ---------- Filefind
List Directory LD ---------- Filefind
Line Print LP ---------- Does Not Exist
Norton Control Center NCC --------- NCC
Norton Change Directory NCD --------- NCD
Norton Disk Doctor NDD --------- NDD, DiskTool
Norton Integrator NI ---------- Norton
Norton Utilities NU ---------- DiskEdit, UnErase, DiskTool
Quick UnErase QU ---------- UnErase
Speed Disk SD ---------- Speedisk
Safe Format SF ---------- SFormat
System Information SI ---------- Sysinfo
Time Mark TM ---------- NCC
Text Search TS ---------- FileFind
UnRemove Directory UD ---------- UnErase
Volume Label VL ---------- NCD
Wipe File Wipefile ---- WipeInfo
Wipe Disk Wipedisk ---- WipeInfo
If the INSTALL program determines that Norton Utilities version 4.5 is already
installed on the user's hard disk, it offers the option of overwriting the old
version or saving the files in a backup directory. Regardless of the option
chosen, the following 4.5 programs are always retained in the main NORTON
directory:
Directory Sort (DS.EXE)
File Attributes (FA.EXE)
File Date/Time (FD.EXE)
File Find (FF.EXE renamed to FL.EXE)
File Size (FS.EXE)
Line Print (LP.EXE)
These programs are preserved because command line users may find it easier to
continue using them rather than their replacements in the 5.0 package. Users
may also have batch files that rely on these 4.5 commands. The old FF.EXE is
renamed to FL.EXE so it doesn't conflict with the new FileFind (FF.EXE).
Regardless of whether the old Utilities are installed, the user has the option
of renaming certain programs to two character names:
DISKEDIT.EXE can be renamed DE.EXE
SYSINFO.EXE can be renamed SI.EXE
SFORMAT.EXE can be renamed SF.EXE
SPEEDISK.EXE can be renamed SD.EXE
FILEFIND.EXE can be renamed FF.EXE
This will primarily benefit long-time Norton users who like abbreviations.
**** Additional Program Information ****
*************
* Calibrate *
*************
The following switches are not mentioned in the manual:
/BLANK Turns the screen blanker ON while performing Pattern Testing
/NOCOPY Don't make a duplicate copy of the track currently being tested
***********
* Install *
***********
During the installation process, the program will prompt the user as to
whether or not the install program should rename DOS's FORMAT.COM to
XXFORMAT.COM. If this step is completed and the user has DOS 4.xx, this
will cause problems with the execution of DOS 4.xx BACKUP.COM
(DOS 4.xx looks for the presence of the file FORMAT.COM during its execution).
If this problem occurs, simply rename XXFORMAT.COM back to FORMAT.COM when
using DOS 4.xx BACKUP.COM.
The Install program will prompt you as to whether or not you wish to install
PCSHADOW. PCSHADOW is a reserved memory block manager for use will COMPAQ 386
class machines ONLY. If you have a COMPAQ 386 class machine and are using
a memory manager (CEMM, QEMM or 386-MAX) you should NOT install PCSHADOW.
Custom Tailoring of Statements in AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS Files:
The Install program can place several of the Utilities programs into your
AUTOEXEC.BAT and/or CONFIG.SYS files if you wish. Many of the defaults for
these programs may not be exactly what you want. If you want to fine tune the
statements that the Install program has added to your Autoexec.bat or
Config.sys, YOU WILL NEED TO MANUALLY EDIT the file yourself. You can use a
text editor to do this. Please consult the documentation for the command line
parameters you can use to tailor these programs.
Passwords:
Please be aware that only ONE UNIQUE password can be set for ALL of the Norton
Utilities files that can be password protected. You are not able, for example,
to set one password for NDD and another for UNFORMAT.
Archive File Extraction Errors:
Several of the Norton Utilities programs are compressed into archive files. If
you encounter an error during the extraction of the programs from the archive
file, first try uncompressing them manually. This is done by launching the
archive file with the destination drive and path name where you wish to install
the Norton Utilities:
<Source Disk:Archive File Name> <Target Disk:\Directory>
Example:
A:NU5_ARC1.EXE C:\NORTON
If you still encounter an error, please call our Customer Service at
1-800-365-1010.
****************
* Norton Cache *
****************
NCACHE only works on "normally connected" floppies. If a floppy drive requires
a special interface board and/or a driver loaded in CONFIG.SYS, NCACHE probably
won't be able to cache it. Most external drives are not supported by NCACHE.
NCACHE does contain special code to support Bernoulli Boxes, including the
external models. Other removable hard disks are not supported.
Both the Small and Fast versions of Norton Cache will refuse to cache a floppy
drive that does not have "Change Line" support. This is a hardware feature on
the drive that tells the computer when a diskette has been removed. 360K
drives often do not have a change line, and thus cannot be cached. Most other
drives (1.2M, 1.44M, etc.) will work OK.
NCACHE will automatically determine which drives can be cached. If a drive
cannot be cached, NCACHE will either print "Cannot detect media change for
this drive" or simply omit the drive from its status display.
For 8088 or 80286 based machines:
In order to use Expanded Memory (EMS) with NCACHE, you must have an
Expanded Memory Manager that implements VERSION 4 of the EMS specification
(sometimes called the "LIM" specification). You must also have true EMS
hardware and cannot use a software emulator like Above Disc.
If you have an older memory manager, check with your memory board
manufacturer to see if an upgrade is available. In most cases all you'll
need is new memory manager software; no hardware changes will be required.
NCACHE will normally ignore EMS memory if you don't have the correct
memory manager. If you run NCACHE with no parameters it will simply skip
over EMS and try to use extended or conventional memory instead. If you
provide an explicit EXP= parameter, you will receive an error message and
NCACHE will not install itself.
For users of Xerox Ventura Publisher:
One version of Ventura Publisher (VP) has problems working with NCACHE.
The problems only occur with Version 2.0 of the VP Standard Edition.
Users of that version may encounter machine lock ups during loading or
"Internal Error 19" dialog boxes.
There are a number of ways to work around this problem: if you are
loading NCACHE from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file or from the DOS command line,
try loading it from CONFIG.SYS instead. If that doesn't work, try loading
NCACHE before any other TSR's you are using. If you aren't using any
TSR's, try loading an additional copy of COMMAND.COM after NCACHE and
before VP.
If none of these changes solves the problem, you'll have no choice but
to avoid running VP when NCACHE is loaded. Xerox Software actually
recommends that you run VP Standard Edition on a machine by itself, with
no extra drivers or TSR's. Future versions of VP (greater than 2.0) will
have a different memory management system that should solve many driver
and TSR problems.
*************************
* Norton Disk Doctor II *
*************************
The following switches are not mentioned in the manual:
/REBUILD Rebuilds an entire disk that has been destroyed
/UNDELETE Undelete a DOS partition that was previously skipped
**************
* Speed Disk *
**************
The DOS CHKDSK report and Speed Disk's Disk Information do not always agree on
the number of files and directories on a disk, when in fact BOTH are correct.
The reason is as follows:
CHKDSK reports the number of hidden files and the number of user files
separately, and the sum of these will equal the number reported by
Speed Disk.
CHKDSK reports the number of sub-directories on a disk but does not count
the root directory. Speed Disk counts the root as a directory and will
always report one more directory than CHKDSK.
CHKDSK reports the volume label as a hidden file of 0 length. Speed Disk
doesn't include the volume label as a file.
**********************
* System Information *
**********************
The following switches are not mentioned in the manual:
/AUTO Unattended scrolling through and repeated displaying of ALL
the System Information screens
/DEMO Unattended scrolling only through the System Information
Benchmark screens
/SUMMARY Causes SysInfo to print the same information as SI v4.5 in a
TTY display

**** Compatibility Issues and Additional Considerations ****
******************
* Video Adapters *
******************
Some EGA and VGA adapters, particularly those on the IBM PS/2 Model 70-121
(20 MHz), have a quirk which causes screen degradation problems when the
graphical (arrow-shaped) mouse pointer is used. If small dots appear and
disappear as the mouse is moved, you should use the standard mouse pointer.
Choose the Video and Mouse Options item from the Norton program's Configure
menu, and set the Graphics Options to either Standard or Graphical Controls.
If you have trouble reading the Norton program's screens in order to change
this option, type "MODE CO80" at the DOS command line to fix the display,
and then type "NORTON /G0" to start the program in the standard mode.
************************************
* Hard Disks with Cylinders > 1024 *
************************************
Norton Utilities Version 5.0 now provides various levels of support for
hard disks with more than 1024 cylinders. Note that it will only support
drives of this type which are using Ontrack's Disk Manager or Storage
Dimension's SpeedStor. All programs will work on these types of drives
transparently, except for the following limitations:
Calibrate Will not perform a Low-Level Format on any DOS partition
on the 1024+ cylinder drive. Also won't test or optimize
any DOS partition which lies BEYOND the 1024 cylinder
boundary.
NDD Will state that DOS partitions which lie BEYOND the 1024
cylinder boundary are device-driven, which is TRUE.
SFormat Can't Format DOS partitions which lie BEYOND the 1024
cylinder boundary.
************************************************
* Multitasking with MS-WINDOWS, DESQVIEW, etc. *
************************************************
In general, applications or commands that modify the file allocation table can
cause unpredictable results when run under multitasking environments.
The following applications can be run directly from the DOS prompt:
Batch Enhancer No problems.
DiskEdit Should be run in read only mode.
FileFind No problems.
FileFix May cause problems when unzapping a dBASE file.
FileSave As a general rule, FileSave should be turned on before
loading Windows.
For Advanced Users: Drives can be manipulated
independently from within separate instances of
COMMAND.COM.
NCC Under Windows, only affects the current instance of
COMMAND.COM.
NCD Only affects the current instance of COMMAND.COM
System Info The CPU Speed Benchmark will not reflect the true speed
of the computer.
Image Should be run before loading Windows or Desqview.

************
* Networks *
************
The Norton Utilities Version 5.0 can be installed on a network server.
In order to be used effectively in a networking environment, we recommend
the following:
NU Environment Settings
The Norton Utilities saves configuration information in initialization
files (*.INI). Since each user on a network will most likely have a
unique hardware configuration, the NU environment variable must point
to a directory on the user's local hard disk.
For example, typing:
SET NU=C:\
will instruct the Norton Utilities to find information about the user's
computer in the root directory of his C: drive. You should place this
statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Running FileSave and NCD on a network
FileSave The first time FileSave is run on a network drive, it will
create an invisible subdirectory off the root directory.
This directory will be called TRASHCAN. All users will
need RIGHTS to this directory in order for FileSave to
work correctly. We recommend that the supervisor run
FileSave first, then modify the directory attributes so
all users have ALL RIGHTS, except SEARCH.
FileSave must be loaded AFTER the network driver (e.g. IPX)
and shell (e.g. NET3). Loading FileSave before the network
software will prevent it from protecting network drives.
NCD NCD saves a copy of the directory tree on the drive, so that
it doesn't have to scan the drive everytime it is run. On
a network drive, it will try to save the directory tree in
a subdirectory called NCDTREE. On non-network drives, the
directory tree is saved in the root directory, but most
networks don't give users any rights to the root directory.
For this reason, in order to use NCD on a network drive,
the supervisor should create a directory in the root
directory called NCDTREE and give all users ALL RIGHTS to
this directory.
**** Manual Corrections and Changes ****
****************
* User's Guide *
****************
Page 18, Paragraph 1
"By default, 11 of the programs are specified..." should be "By default,
none of the programs are specified..."
Page 93, (Append to...)
Append to reads "Add the contents of the tagged file to another file you
specify." This is incorrect. Instead, it starts a Manual Unerase
operation on the existing file (pre-adding the clusters in the file's
allocation chain) so that new clusters can be added to the file.
Page 158, Paragraph 1
There is incorrect information in the last sentence of the paragraph which
reads "Also, with the system area protected, WipeInfo could not wipe an
unused cluster without your permission." Actually, WipeInfo disables
Disk Monitor, so any cluster can be wiped.
Pages 159-160
Disk Monitor refers to an option called "Allow Floppy Format" which should
actually be "Allow Floppy Access".
Page 161, Paragraph 2
If a protected write occurs while the screen is in graphics mode--for
example, while you are working with Windows--Disk Monitor can't pop up the
dialog box. Instead, it automatically rejects the write operation. All
you will hear is a beep. The application that was attempting the write
should issue a "write protect" or "access denied" error message
Page 253, (NCD Function Keys)
F9 and F10 do not do what is described at the bottom of this page.
F9 and F10 both simply access the menu bar.

*****************
Page 167 List at the Bottom of the Page
"DOS 4.xx" should be "DOS 4.xx and higher"
**** Problems, Error Messages and Solutions ****
In general, if things are not working the way you expect, check your
AUTOEXEC.BAT. Some programs install a 2nd path statement instead of correctly
modifying the 1st one. Also, check that the NU and/or NORTON environment
variables are set to the directory where Norton Utilities 5.0 is installed.
Finally, check both AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS for statements that you don't
recognize or that look out of place.
Message: "Error obtaining directory information, insufficient memory."
Solution: - Remove (unload) TSR's to free up RAM space
- Remove some files from the directory (e.g., move files to another
directory).
