SUMMARY
=======

The program NUCONFIG.EXE that comes with Norton Utilities 6.x doesn't run
correctly under the Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1.

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

This program configures NCACHE.EXE, which shouldn't be used with Windows 3.1.
SMARTDrive or some other Windows 3.1 compatible disk cache should be used when
running Windows 3.1.

NUCONFIG.EXE appears to hang when run under Windows 3.1. In most cases, if you
wait long enough, the program will complete and release the system.

This application may also cause a System Integrity Violation error under Windows
3.1.
