Surprised you didn't hear that.
I was so mad I swore I wouldn't buy Norton* after that because
the support dropped too quickly and they didn't pick the best programs
to keep -- PC Tools for Windows got subsumed to the Norton Equivalents.
Nothing beat the older PC Tools.
Symantec's website seems to have some updates for the PCTools stuff.
I assume IBM got source.
Of course when I worked for IBM I ordered their AntiVirus suite...
Paid the support fee -- then IBM drops the program and unloades it to
be the base of Norton AntiVirus.
Figures.
And DEC unloads the PDP11 to Mentec and OS/2 gets killed.
So it goes.
BTW -- Thanks again for E11.

It's interesting that they've been using
the Ramboost from Central Point
Software in it years after CPS got swallowed and eradicated by Symantec.
So *that's* what happened to CPS! I've been using the CPBACKUP that came
with PC-DOS (6.3?) for years, but a while back when I went looking to buy the
latest version (if any), I couldn't find any trace of CPS. Well I guess the
fact that they don't exist any more doesn't let them off the hook with their
agreement with IBM!!! CPBACKUP is still there, and so is CP UNDELETE.
