Norton Utilities


 

The Norton Utilities releases were collections of software utilities. Peter Norton published the first version for DOS, The Norton Utilities, Release 1, ca 1981. Release 2 came out several years later, subsequent to the first hard drives for the IBM PC line. Peter Norton's company was sold to Symantec in 1990. However his name remains as a "brand" for Symantec's range of utility and security software for home users.

Incorporation of Norton Utilities into MS-DOS

A number of the Norton Utilities were licensed by Microsoft over the years. SmartDrive was a version of NCACHE that first appeared in MS-DOS 5 and was later modified to include support for DoubleSpace, DriveSpace and CD-ROMs. SPEEDISK was licenced as DEFRAG in MS-DOS 6.
