BOOT'R Revision History
02-20-93 ■ Version 0.3ß
. Changed the way BOOT'R reads configuration information.
Instead of reading through all the configurations in the
BOOTR.INI file, separate .INI files are now maintained
for each configuration. This speeds up the operation of
BOOT'R substantially.
. Added BOOT'R command line display area to error message
screens. Command line is displayed only on those screens
where it is relevant.
. Added code to display error message if configuration
specified on the command line does not exist. BOOT'R
will not reboot the machine under this circumstance.
. Modified command line display area on the prelog screen
to only show "BOOTR" instead of the fully qualified path.
02-14-93 ■ Version 0.2ß
. Added code to create .BAK files for all configuration
files modified by BOOT'R. .BAK files are created in
the same directory as the modified files.
02-07-93 ■ Version 0.1ß
. Changed default BOOT'R path to C:\BOOTR.
. Added external BOOTRWBT.COM file to perform a warm boot.
(Internal compiler command was generating a cold boot on
most machines, which was too slow.)
. Speeded up the reading of the BOOTR.INI file.
. Corrected a problem where BOOT'R would read additional
information from the BOOTR.INI file and overwrite
existing configuration information.
. Added "Writing configuration files. Do NOT interrupt!"
message.
. Added "Reading BOOTR.INI file. Do NOT interrupt!" message.
. Removed extra information from BOOT'R prelog screen to
prevent any possible memory manager conflicts.
. Added support to test BOOT'R operation without rebooting.
If the second passed parameter on the command line is TEST,
BOOT'R will update all files, but will not reboot the
machine. Example: BOOTR NOVELL TEST
01-26-93 ■ Version 0.0ß
. Added background to error message screens.
. Fixed problem where [REBOOT] section code was reading
a blank line.
. Added [REBOOT] section to BOOTR.INI file. This section
allows a command or sequence of commands to be executed
prior to rebooting the machine. This feature is
necessary to force the flushing and disabling of disk
caches that use write-caching.
. Added help and error message screens.
. Added support for up to five different files under
each configuration.
. Added support to read various [????????] configuration
sections of the BOOTR.INI file.
. Added [DELAYS] section to BOOTR.INI file.
. Added [REGISTRATION] section to BOOTR.INI file.
. Added support to read BOOTR.INI file.
. Initial coding on BOOT'R begun.
