===Version 6.0=== [[Image:Norton-utilities-6.0.png|thumb|250px|Norton Utilities 6.0 for DOS]] Norton Utilities 6.0 supports DOS 5 and [[Windows 3.1]]. It includes [[Program Manager|Windows Program Manager]] support, but the tools are still DOS-based, so a set of icons were supplied. It includes Norton Disk Doctor, Disk Editor, Disk Tools, Speed Disk, Norton Cache, Disk Monitor, Diskreet, NDisk, System Information, [[4DOS#NDOS|NDOS]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue135/132_The_Norton_Utilities.php |title=The Norton Utilities 6.0 |author-first=Charles |author-last=Idol |work=Atari Magazine}}</ref> The speed of Speed Disk is improved over the previous release. Diskreet supports [[Data Encryption Standard]]. System Information now includes more detailed information on installed system. UnErase takes advantage of [[MS-DOS#MS-DOS_5.x|DOS 5.0]]'s Delete Tracking and Mirror File features to recover data.<ref>''InfoWorld'', 1991-06-10, p. 117</ref> However, MS-DOS 5.0 adds a new <code>UNDELETE.exe</code> program, licensed from Norton competitor [[Central Point Software]],<ref>Upon executing the UNDELETE command in [[MS-DOS#MS-DOS_6.x|MS-DOS 6.22]], the message: "UNDELETE - A delete protection facility Copyright (C) 1987-1993 Central Point Software, Inc." is displayed.</ref> which takes advantage of the same Delete Sentry control and Deletion-tracking files. (The ERASE command is an alias for the DEL (Delete) command in the DOS [[command-line interpreter|command line]]). [[Windows 95]]'s [[Recycle Bin (Windows)|Recycle Bin]] soon further reduced the need for UnErase.
