Release notes
Named "Version 1990" (dated December 1989), this was the first version of Mace Utilities released after it was sold to 5th Generation Systems.
A review can be found in PC Magazine Mar 27, 1990
It competed against Norton Utilities Advanced Edition 4.5 and PC Tools Deluxe 5.5
Version 1990 features easier to use menus, DOS 4.0 support, and a disk wiping tool. It excludes the backup utilities found in the previous Mace Gold Utilities 5.0 - presumably to avoid competing with 5th Generation Systems' FastBack Plus
This was followed by a somewhat dumbed down "Mace Express", after which the product seemed to disappear.
