- Below is a very valuable program for fixing up and moving around
- disk boot records and partition boot records. This program permits
- updating these records and saving them off to files. It also lets you
- do some simple editting on them. We have found it is an invaluable
- utility to help get us out of various partition configuration jams.
-
- Obviously this sort of program, if used improperly can blow the boot
- record, if not the entire hard disk; so I have the usual disclaimers.
- (However no-one has ever done this yet; the program has a lot of checks
- and asks for validation before overwritting anything critical.)
-
- It includes Turbo Pascal 4.0 source.

- This is version 2.0. Not having done much backing up lately, I decided
- not to test this program on any of my hard disks. Use at your own
- risk.
