I am bouncing between a laptop (OS 9.2 for Fontographer) and an OS 10 Mac (for FontLab). For some reason my Norton disk is not working on the laptop

Has anyone an unmarred copy of this that I can buy? Pretty please.

Michael.

Just a caution for you: if you let Norton Utilities anywhere near OS 10 you will regret it. In other words, it’s OK for OS 9 but never for OS 10.

Get Disk Warrior instead; it’s OK for OS 10.

Thanks, I know it did not play well with OS 10. I figured that most people had thrown away their 8.0 since they had long since transitioned to 10.

I figured some pack rat still had it. That’s why I was asking for it. I need it specifically for the 9.2 laptop.

Thanks though
Michael

Michael —

I still have a pristine disk of Norton Utilities 4.0 (ca. 1998). Don’t ask me why. I don’t know if this would do any good with OS 9.2. If you can’t find a more current version and get desperate enough to want to try this, let me know.

I don’t think it will work Kent. When I upgraded computer and OS 8 to 9 I had to buy NU8. Thank you so much though.
