3.2 Release Notes: 
UNIX programs

This file contains release notes for UNIX commands in NEXTSTEP Release 3.2.

New Features

The following new programs or features have been added:

·	/usr/etc/scsilock is a new program that can be used to override the eject button on SCSI drives that use removable media.  There is no manual page for this program yet.

·	/usr/etc/disk now has a ±u flag which causes it to use all of the device's sectors, not just those accessible by the BIOS of an i386-based machine.  Do not use this feature on a disk which will be used as a startup device, however.
