DoDOS 1.1
---------
DoDOS is a program which allows you to run DOS applications which won't
normally run from Windows. It achieves this by creating a temporary
batch file using commands supplied on the DoDOS command line, shutting
down Windows, running the batch file, then restarting Windows.
It can be used in a number of situations, but I expect the most common
will be for running games which generally don't run very well from
within Windows.
Full details can be found in DODOS.WRI

This version of DoDOS was released to the world on Tuesday the 9th
of November, 1993
Changes from version 1.0
------------------------
The whole program has been rewritten to clean up the code. More
imporantly for end-users are the two new switches.
The -f switch allows DoDOS to read the commands from a file instead
of having them specified on the command-line. This is mostly for use
with my upcoming product DoFloppy.
The -i switch allows DoDOS to read the commands from the DODOS.INI file
instead of having them specified on the command-line. This is the way
I recommend people use the program.
The old syntax (placing the commands directly on the command-line) is
still supported, so if you're upgrading, you can just copy this new
version of DoDOS straight over the old one with no problems.
