- BootFlag version 2.2 by John Mosley (9-19-1992 addendum)
-
- Changes since version 2.1:
-
- (1) BootFlag will now print the value "0" if the status flags are all
- zero when displaying the flags in binary mode (the "p %" option) instead of
- leaving the number completely out (ooh, ahh).
-
- (2) Since some people complained that BootFlag slowed down their
- Startup-Sequence script because it always read the drive to figure out what
- was going on, I fixed it so that it would place the register file in ENV:
- (which is commonly assigned to RAM:) so access times are sped up. Of
- course, if you make changes to the ststus file, it will HAVE to access the
- non-volitile register file on your drive. Also, you must assign your ENV:
- directory to use BootFlag now (for the above reason). A good hint to speed
- things up is to resident BootFlag, having assigned ENV: to RAM: somehwhere.
- This will allow your system to use BootFlag without ever reading from the
- drive, doing it's job entirely in memory, except for updates to the flags.
-
- Remember, this program is FreeWare - chop up the code if you like it
- and do whatever you wish with it. My only requirement is that you tell me
- you are using it and what you think about it (is it useful to ya?). I use
- the sucker quite a bit; I wrote it because I needed it.
