Navigator "Educational Use Only" edition
One key to help recognize Norton Utilities 1.0 is that disk one of the 1.0 version had a file called Print and in 2.0 that file was renamed Lprint to avoid conflict with the DOS command.
Changed focus to business and professional computer users. Added hard disk helpers. Smooth integration with DOS, including full support for file paths.
This version adds Quick UnErase (QU) and Unremove Directory (UD) programs. Better hard disk support, including the Bernoulli box. Adds /A to LD command, revised TS program, /S to more commands. /EUR and /EBCDIC features for European and mainframe data. /LOG for logging program action.

WHAT'S NEW SINCE THE MFC 4.0 PATCH? New features since the MFC patch: MFC 4.2b, final NT 4.0 SDK, ActiveX SDK, bug fixes.
- MFC libraries are now pulled in by #pragma statements in the MFC header files, so if you disable default library inclusion (in Project Settings), you will have to include the libraries explicitly, even though the project is tagged as an MFC project. This way of pulling in the libraries is much safer.
- DAO support: only the wrappers are provided; the runtime has to
be licensed from Microsoft.
RTL
- There is a 32-bit debug version of the RTL DLL now. The import library is sndd.lib. This lib will be used automatically when building a 32-bit debug target that uses the DLL version of MFC. If you are not using MFC and you want to use the debug RTL, then you should define _DEBUG, check Project | Settings | Build | Code Generation | "Embed Library Name" and specify sndd.lib in the text field next to this checkbox.
Compiler
- There is a new compiler option that did not make it into the Compiler and Tools Guide:
-Ab enable bool as a built-in type, with values of true and false
- Note that there is now a Compiler Readme file, as a supplement to the Compiler and Tools Guide. This contains a great deal of information, written by Walter Bright, about the features and usage of the Symantec C/C++ compiler. Compiler.wri is a plain text file located in the Help directory. The installer will create a program item that points to this file. (NT users who prefer to view the file in Notepad may find it more convenient to rename the extension from .wri to .txt.)
REDISTRIBUTING THE ActiveX DLLs
All appropriate support DLLs are installed on your own system when you install Symantec C++ 7.50. However, if you develop code that makes use of ActiveX and want to distribute your code without depending on the presence of Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 on the target machine, you need to redistribute the ActiveX support DLLs.
The six self-extracting executables containing the ActiveX redistributables, with two related text files, are located on the Symantec C++ 7.50 CD in the directory sc\redist32.These files are from the Microsoft ActiveX SDK for Win32.
The Microsoft license agreement is in the file license.txt.The descriptions of the ActiveX redistributables and the exactdetails governing redistribution are in the file redist.txt,
Notice that there is no URLMon.dll redistributable for NT 3.51, only for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.
