  2. It lacks:
    - ghost.exe (Ghost 11.5.1.2269 DOS version)
    - gdisk.exe (GDisk 11.5.1.2269 DOS version)

    only ghostoem.exe exists, but this is restore-only version.

    And why would anybody need a DOS version?

    This may be interesting for people who still uses Ghost under msdos. Contrary to what wkeller claimed, the patch uploaded by sebus (2269 version) DOES in fact include the msdos version of gdisk.exe

    You can find it by uncompressing the file using 7zip. Then you decompress the file named "client.msi" (also with 7zip), and afterwards you'll need to decompress a file named "Data1.cab" (again, with 7zip)

    Then you'll see a file named "F2334_gdisk.exe" that you have to rename to "gdisk.exe" and it's in fact the 11.5.1.2269 version.

    wkeller also mentioned that ghost.exe version 2269 should exist, but I don't believe that.

    If you read carefully the release notes by Symantec you'll see that ghost.exe IS NOT in the list of updated files. Take a look:

    @vigipirate Your comment is offensive to retro lovers!

    By the way, Update 12.11594 doesn't include any DOS version of Ghost, that's why retro-obsessed people will probably ignore it ;)
