- I have uploaded a patch for NDW 2.0 to Wuarchive, path and filenames
-
- /pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS/compat.exe (from Symantec, 514644 bytes)
- /pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS/compat.txt (text file I typed)
-
- compat.exe is a compressed file I downloaded from Nortons BBS (one of their
- highest downloaded files) sometime in December, that contains a patch for your
- current installation of Norton Desktop for Windows 2.0. This patch can possibly
- fix some compatability problems between your computer and NDW (i.e. fixes some
- of the bugs). This is a fairly extensive patch, since it modifies nearly
- every executable in the NDW directory, and fixed all of the problems I was
- experiencing from NDW (NDW caused GPF's and would not even allow windows to
- boot, unless the line "shell=ndw.exe" was changed).
-
- I called Symantecs customer support on 1-21-93, and asked if there was any
- problem uploading this for others to have access, to which the stated there
- is no problem, except it may not work correctly with NDW versions overseas.
-
- Hope this helps some people out.
