Boot Manager 95 Version 1.1a
----------------------------
Boot Manager 95 is a utility to allow you to easily configure your Windows 95
bootup options.  Windows 95 has configurable boot options that are only
documented in the Windows 95 Resource Kit.  This program allows you to change
these options without having to purchase the Resource Kit.

The boot options are stored in the MSDOS.SYS file in the root folder of you
boot drive.  It is a user configurable file that allows the user to enable
various boot options that range from booting to a previous version of an
operating system (providing there is one which is not always the case in an
OEM setup), to setting an optional path to a Windows directory other than the
default established during setup.

Boot Manager 95 allows you to change only the boot options (for obvious
reasons!).

System requirements
-------------------
This Application was designed to run only under Windows 95.  It will not run
under Windows 3.0, 3.1, 3.11, Windows for Workgroups or Windows NT.

NOTE: This application also requires the file "VBRUN300.DLL" to be located in
      your "windows\system" Directory in order to load and run correctly.

      If you don't have this file it can be found on most PC related forums
      on compuserve.


Usage
-----
To start Boot Manager, double click on the BOOTMNGR.EXE file from within
Explorer or specify the BOOTMNGR.EXE file in the RUN dialog, accessible from
the Start menu on the task bar.

To use Boot Manager select the tab that contains the setting(s) you want to
change and check or uncheck the option.  Most of the options are
self-explanatory, and instant help is given on screen, for all available
options.


Update Hostory
--------------
    1.3     -   Numerous minor bug fixes.
                Fixed BootFailSafe message at boot.
                Improved UI no longer needs TABPRO11.VBX.
                Now backs up inital MSDOS.SYS for future reference/use.
                Restore original MSDOS.SYS and Defaults settings.
                Help on boot/compressed drives.

    1.2     -   Bug fix for compressed drives.  MSDOS.SYS was assumed to be
                on the C: drive but this is, of course, reassigned by most
                disk compression software.  Credit to John A Fagerberg for
                pointing this out to me.
                Now remembers where you last put it on screen (BOOTMNGR.INI,
                Sorry, can't use the Windows 95 Registry until the 32-bit
                version!)

    1.1a    -   First public release.

    1.1     -   Major overhaul (tabbed dialogues!).  Lots of bug fixes to
                get it ready for public release.

    1.0     -   Inital version - very buggy, not publicly released.

Thanks to...
