- I thought Norton Utilities for SCO Unix was out of the vapor-ware stage. Norton
- only had plans for an Intel-based Unix version, and kind of kludged around the Unix method
- of recirculating inodes and disk blocks immediately by using a predefined staging area:
- deleted files are copied to the "secret" area and held for a configurable time (5 min?)
- before they're really deleted.
-
- Anyone using it, and can provide firsthand experience?
