MORE INFORMATION
================

General Protection (GP) Fault
-----------------------------

If you run Becker Tools version 2.0 with Windows 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode and
Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0, Becker Tools cannot perform the following commands: Make
System, Display FAT, Disk Edit, and Rename Volume. The following error message
is displayed when you quit the program:

  Sector Not Found
  GP fault in Module KRNL386.EXE at 0001:4f50

Becker Tools is MS-DOS-version dependent. Becker Tools version 2.0 does not work
correctly with MS-DOS version 5.0.


Becker Tools Delete Option Does Not Work
----------------------------------------

With Windows 3.1, the Becker Tools Delete option does not work on a file if the
Undelete option is set to On. To work around this problem, remove "PCTOOLS" and
"NORTONS DATAMON" from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

This problem is corrected in Becker Tools version 3.0.

Becker Tools is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no
warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or
reliability.
