SYMANTEC ANNOUNCES THE NORTON SPEEDCACHE+
--All in One: The Fastest Disk Caching Available for
Windows, DOS and CD-ROM--
KEY FEATURES OVERVIEW
* Speeds up Windows performance by up to 1000%
* Speeds up CD-ROMs by up to 3000%
* 2 to 3 times faster than Windows' SmartDrive
* Speeds up DOS applications by up to 4000%
* Caches Windows, DOS and CD-ROM drives
* Supports the largest cache size, up to 23MB
* 100% compatible with virtually all CD-ROM drives
* Available Now -- $99 SRP
CUPERTINO, Calif. -- March 22, 1993 -- Symantec Corporation
(NASDAQ:SYMC) today announced an exclusive licensing
agreement with Future Systems Solutions to market the Norton
Speedcache+ v.4.0, an all-in-one cache for hard disk drives,
CD-ROM drives and removable media drives in both DOS and
Windows.
The Norton Speedcache+ is the fastest hard disk and CD-ROM
cache for DOS and Windows, and supports the industry's
largest cache size, up to 23MB. The larger the size of the
cache, the better Norton Speedcache+ performs, speeding up
PC performance to provide lightning fast access to all data
and programs. It reads only the data you need, making it
faster than any other caching solution for Windows, DOS and
CD-ROMs.
"Norton Speedcache+ is another example of Symantec's efforts
to continuously enhance the operating environment with new
utilities," said Rod Turner, Symantec's executive vice
president of the Peter Norton Group. "It also provides an
opportunity to enter into new and expanding markets such as
CD-ROM and multimedia."
Although CD-ROM drives store a lot of information, data
access is about 25 times slower than with a hard disk.
Norton Speedcache+ lets the user zip through CD-ROM programs
such as Microsoft Bookshelf, Compton's Multimedia
Encyclopedia for Windows, Atlas, Corel Draw and other
graphics and multimedia applications. Benchmark tests show
that a typical information search through a Microsoft
Bookshelf CD-ROM disk takes over three minutes compared to
just nine seconds with Norton Speedcache+ installed.
THE FASTEST CACHE WITH THE HIGHEST PERFORMANCE
Norton Speedcache+ speeds up Windows, DOS and CD-ROM drives
-- it makes Windows run two to three times faster, DOS
applications 4000% faster and CD-ROM drives 3000% faster.
It is two to three times faster than SmartDrive and provides
the fastest access to most frequently used data with dynamic
monitoring of DOS, Windows and applications. Norton
Speedcache+ offers Multi-Writes, allowing the user to
multitask and continue working while writing to disk. To
further enhance disk access performance, Norton Speedcache+
has incorporated several advanced technologies, including
dynamic read-ahead caching and intelligent write-back
caching.
Norton Speedcache+ is the only cache product that integrates
and monitors all of a PC's resources, including CD-ROM-based
applications and removable cartridge media, constantly
adjusting memory usage to always ensure the fastest access
times. Norton Speedcache+ revolutionizes the entire cache
process by reducing and eliminating extra seeks, reading
only the data the user needs, making it faster than any
other cache solution.
FULL COMPATIBILITY
CD-ROM Compatibility
Norton Speedcache+ is 100% compatible with virtually all
CD-ROM drives including NEC, Chinon, Sony, Tandy, Panasonic
and Creative Lab's Multimedia Upgrade Kit. In addition,
Norton Speedcache+ offers greater speed, greater reliability
and the safety of auto-locking to virtually all removable
media including Iomega, Quantum and Syquest.
DOS, Windows and Network Compatibility
Norton Speedcache+ is compatible with all versions of
MS/PC-DOS 3.0 or higher, DR DOS 5.0/6.0, Zenith DOS 3.3+,
Compaq DOS 3.31 and higher, Microsoft Windows 3.0 and above,
and Windows for Workgroups. It is also compatible with
Desqview, Lantastic and Novell Netware-Lite network servers
and workstations.
DOS, Windows and Network Compatibility
Norton Speedcache+ is compatible with all versions of
MS/PC-DOS 3.0 or higher, DR DOS 5.0/6.0, Zenith DOS 3.3+,
Compaq DOS 3.31 and higher, Microsoft Windows 3.0 and above,
and Windows for Workgroups. It is also compatible with
Desqview, Lantastic and Novell Netware-Lite network servers
and workstations.
Norton Speedcache+ also works with popular utilities and
add-on drivers like The Norton Utilities, Disk Manager,
Stacker, SuperStor, EMM386, 386MAX and QEMM386 including
Stealth.
SPECIAL WINDOWS APPLICATIONS
Speedcache+ Assist Monitors Performance
The Speedcache+ Assist utility, designed specifically for
Windows, lets users monitor performance directly within the
Windows graphical environment. A full- featured interface
to Norton Speedcache+ from within Windows gives graphical
feedback of cache statistics, allowing the user to view
cache statistics, option settings, and even specific CD-ROM
information on an up-to-the-second basis. Users can also
configure the cache on the fly from within Windows.
Disk Performance Tester
The exclusive Disk Performance Tester for Windows is a
benchmarking program for comparing the performance of
different disk drives, disk controllers, disk caches and
even disk cache configurations. It provides immediate
information to optimize Windows and increases speed two to
three times. The Disk Performance Tester can also evaluate
the performance of CD-ROM drives.
EASY INSTALLATION, AUTOMATIC OPTIMIZATION
Norton Speedcache+ offers quick, easy installation in
seconds and automatically configures itself for optimum
performance. Norton Speedcache+ automatically relocates
itself into high or upper memory at installation and does
not require any conventional memory. It also supports the
industry's largest cache size, up to 23MB, using either
extended or expanded memory for its cache.
Over 30 options allow the user to fine tune caching
performance to blend with unique applications or system
configurations. In addition, another 16 options provide the
capability to fine tune caching on a drive-by-drive basis.
This means the user can configure and reconfigure virtually
all of the caching parameters independently for each drive
being cached, both before and after installation.
Norton Speedcache+ also offers the unique ability to be
installed either as a device driver or as a TSR
(terminate-stay-resident). Installing Norton Speedcache+ as
a device driver provides the ability to accelerate nearly
the entire boot process. Installing from the DOS
command-line permits the cache to be uninstalled at any
time.
PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
The Norton Speedcache+ is available at a suggested retail
price of $99. It runs on MS/PC-DOS 3.0 or higher, DR DOS,
Compaq DOS 3.31 or higher, IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 and 100%
compatibles, and requires 512K RAM, expanded and/or extended
memory is recommended.
Registered users of Norton Utilities and Norton Desktop for
DOS can purchase Norton Speedcache+ v.4.0 for $19, plus
shipping and handling, until May 31, 1993, by calling
800-441-7234.
Symantec Corporation develops, markets and supports a
complete line of application and system software products
for IBM personal computers and compatibles, and Apple
Macintosh computers. Founded in 1982, the company has
offices in the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe.

SYMANTEC ANNOUNCES THE NORTON DESKTOP FOR WINDOWS
NETWORK MENUING ADMIN PACK 2.2
--Easily Create Standard Menus and Serve Access to The Norton Desktop
for Windows--
KEY FEATURES OVERVIEW
Create standard means for groups of network NDW users
Provides centralized network security and control
Easy menu set-up with the Administrator's Mode
Increases user productivity while also minimizing user training
Improved user interface for enhanced ease of use
Now supports Banyan Vines
Available now -- $295 SRP per server
CUPERTINO, Calif. -- March 29, 1993 -- Symantec Corporation
(NASDAQ:SYMC) today announced The Norton Desktop for Windows
(NDW) Network Menuing Admin Pack version 2.2 (network pack), an
essential network administrator's tool for creating standard,
easy-to-use menus for NDW. The Norton Desktop for Windows
Network Menuing Admin Pack enables network administrators to
enhance network security, increase user productivity, and
minimize training and support at the same time.
Network administrators can ensure network security by
controlling access to network applications quickly and easily.
Within the password-protected administrators' module, network
administrators can assign menu rights via simple list-boxes and
set-up menus in the standard NDW interface. Network users can
enjoy the productivity enhancements of NDW while taking
advantage of easy-to-use menus to run applications on the
network.
"Symantec has worked closely with its corporate customers to
ensure the NDW Network Pack is the network management solution
that fills their needs," said Rod Turner, Symantec's executive
vice president of the Peter Norton Group. "The Norton Desktop
for Windows combined with the Network Pack provides secure
network menuing capabilities that make it the corporate choice."
CREATE STANDARD MENUS FOR GROUPS OF NETWORK USERS
Administrators can establish common sets of menus for different
groups of users on the network. In this consistent, customized
environment, users can have access to their individual menus, as
well as the common menus created by the network administrator to
give him access to applications on the network.
CENTRALIZED NETWORK SECURITY AND CONTROL
The network pack alleviates uncertainty about which users have
access to specific programs. The network administrator can
restrict user access to programs on the network and secure
network applications from unauthorized use. Menu rights are
assigned on existing user network rights and administrators have
centralized control of network application menus.
The NDW network pack provides an end-user interface solution for
corporate standardization. Menus can be tailored for special
groups or departments, eliminating the need to manage another
level of security rights. The network pack lets network
managers maintain standards for security and data protection
while allowing for individual preferences and giving the user a
more convenient way to use applications on the network.
EASY MENU SET-UP WITH THE ADMINISTRATOR'S MODE
With a hot-key combination to access the Administrator's Mode in
NDW, managers can use the standard dialogs in NDW's Quick Access
program to customize and configure applications to be launched
by a group of users and, at the same time, allow individual
users to configure other program groups.
By simply clicking on an individual user or network group to
assign rights, administrators can set up standard menus for all
network users - or tailor sets of menus for special user groups
or departments. Less time and energy is spent maintaining menus
because menu set-up uses the standard NDW interface - the most
productive way to work in Windows.
INCREASED USER PRODUCTIVITY
Administrators can create consistent, easy-to-use menus to help
users find and run programs on the network with a minimum of
training and support. Network users can take advantage of
shared network applications, and still have access to their
personal or local menus. The NDW network pack is compatible
with most major operating environments and now supports Banyan
Vines.
PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
The Norton Desktop for Windows Network Menuing Admin Pack
version 2.2 is available at a suggested retail price of $295 per
server. It requires the Norton Desktop 2.0 or higher for
Windows for each network user, Windows 3.x, Novell Netware
Version 2.15 or higher, LAN Manager Enhanced Version 2.0 or
higher, or Banyan Vines 4.11 or higher, and 300K of free disk
space for installation.
The network pack and site licenses for the Norton Desktop for
Windows are available through Symantec's sales organization, or
through Symantec corporate resellers. For the name of a
distributor who carries the NDW network pack, call (800)
343-4714, ext. 796.

line of application and system software products for IBM
personal computers and compatibles, and Apple Macintosh
computers. Founded in 1982, the company has offices in the

Norton Desktop 2.2 for Windows with Windows for Workgroups
support enhances communication between groups of users by

schedule backups and scan for viruses on any PC in the
workgroup. Between its file management and mail-enabled
features, Norton Desktop for Windows significantly enhances file
sharing and communication for groups of Windows users
standardized on Windows for Workgroups as their peer-to-peer
network.
Users can send files easily to others, even files created by
applications that aren't mail-enabled. The mail-enabled desktop
allows messages and files to be sent to and from any PC in the
