ECHO MAXIS Boot Disk Creation Utility Version 1.00
ECHO by
ECHO Chris Blackwell & Roger Johnsen
ECHO.
ECHO This file will attempt to create a boot disk in your A: drive
ECHO You must now place a BLANK diskette in the A: drive. This disk
ECHO will be formatted and all data on the disk will be lost. Make sure
ECHO that you do not have any diskettes in the A: drive that have
ECHO important data on them (for example, make sure that none of the
ECHO game diskettes are in the A: drive!)
ECHO.
PAUSE
REM *** This paragraph describes what files it expects to find where ***
CLS
ECHO This batch program expects to find the file FORMAT.COM file in
ECHO a directory called DOS in your C: drive. If it is not there
ECHO (for example, if your DOS directory is not C:\DOS) this program
ECHO will not work.
ECHO.
ECHO It also expects to find the file MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.EXE in either
ECHO C:\, C:\MOUSE C:\DOS, C:\WINDOWS or C:\VGAUTIL (the program
ECHO will automatically copy the first one it finds to the boot disk).
ECHO If it cannot find this file, either because it is not on your system,
ECHO or is in a different directory, you can copy it to the boot disk
ECHO when you are done. If you do not have a copy of the MOUSE.COM or
ECHO MOUSE.EXE, check the utility diskettes that came with your computer
ECHO or mouse, or contact the manufacturer of the system to inquire in
ECHO regard to obtaining a mouse driver. Maxis cannot provide you with
ECHO a mouse driver.
ECHO.
ECHO Please insert the blank diskette in the A: drive now and hit any
ECHO to continue. ALL INFORMATION ON THIS DISK WILL BE ERASED!
ECHO.
PAUSE
ECHO.
ECHO If you are sure that the disk you inserted into the A: drive is
ECHO BLANK and NOT your game diskette, hit any key to continue.
