  sell its remaining South African business, Norton co Pty Ltd,
  to &lt;Global Mining and Industrial Corp> of South africa for
  undisclosed terms.
      The company said the unit accounts for less than two pct of

  future technical support, and products makde under that
  agreement will continue to be marketed under the Norton
