FixUtilities copyright (C) 1989-1993 by Padgett - all rights reserved.
FixUtil5 is the April 1993 revision of the FixUtils.
WHAT'S NEW
The major change is that the FixUtils are now all FREEWARE.
For the Lawyers: A limited license is hereby granted such that anyone may
use these copyrighted programs (see list below) without any charge of any
kind so long as they are not altered nor are any deposited programs or
code fragments altered in any way. Specifically, copyright notices and
logos must display anytime a program or deposited code fragment executes.
Distribution must include this notice.
Weasel-Words: There are no warranties either granted or implied for fitness
of any kind, use of these programs is entirely at the risk of the user.
Major Changes
FixMBR now generates automatically a copy of the original MBR with
a user designated name of up to 7 characters. This .DAT file should be
stored in a safe place off-line. When changed to a .COM file and executed,
the original MBR will be restored.
On machines having BIOS selection of the boot disk, users may now select
booting only from the C: drive for additional protection from viruses.
If the CTRL key is held down during the boot, SafeMBR, following integrity
checking of the hard disk MBR will transfer the boot process to drive A:
to allow booting from floppy for maintenance purposes.
Other
a) For those wishing a special corporate logo to display (e.g. "XYZ Corp.
For Authorized Use Only") or suppression of the floppy boot option,
this can be provided for a one-time-fee.
b) Gifts cheerfully accepted. (POBox 1203, Windermere, FL, USA, 34786)
