- VERSION 1.30
- COPYRIGHT © 1991,1992 CHRISTIAN WARREN
-
- Here he comes, the first PAL (or NTSC) installer who can be use on
- non-standard BootBlock. The major problem of others PAL installer is that
- the special BootBlock take the place of the original BootBlock. When the
- original BB is non-standard, you loose all the precious informations found
- on the BB. My program only append 8 bytes at the beginning of the BB and
- shift the rest of the BB by 8 bytes to the right. He also check if the 8
- bytes that will be lost at the end of the BB, are all set to 0. If not, he
- will show you the boot block and ask if you want to install it. You can, at
- this point, check if the 8 bytes lost are important ('XCOPYXCOPYXCOPY...'
- can be erase without problem...).
-
- By default, the program will begin with the sentence 'INSTALL a PAL
- switch on DF0:' but you can change that by editing the file 'SwitchInstall'
- with a file editor ( -> DEKSID <- , newzap, filemaster). You have to search
- for the Ascii string 'Def:'. You will found something like 'Def:XYZ'. You
- can change the X, Y and Z.
-
- -> X = 0 -> 'Remove'
- = 1 -> 'Install'
-
- -> Y = 0 -> 'PAL'
- = 1 -> 'NTSC'
-
- -> Z = disk drive number (0-3)
-
- - INSTALL = Install a switcher (PAL or NTSC) on the BootBlock of the drive
- selected.
- - REMOVE = Remove a switcher from a BootBlock. The BootBlock will return
- to his original content.
- - ViewBoot = See the BootBlock, in Ascii.
