Modern programs more and more demand a flexible configuration of your PC. This
program enables you to choose the optimal configuration for a particular task
each time you boot or reboot your computer.
On one hand PP-BOOT is a BOOT Menu for booting your system on demand. On the
other hand PP-BOOT is a Configuration Editor and Manager, which allows you to
edit and organize different system configurations for your DOS computer in a
very simple way.
Put an end to the muddle of configuration files on your PC! For the future use
PP-BOOT!
You can get a description of the program by typing PP-BOOT /H
or by pressing the key F1 within the program.

PP-BOOT or ND-BOOT has been a 'Public Domain' software up to version A04.
After a complete revision and the integration of new options we now offer
the program (starting with version B00) as Shareware.
The Shareware version offers the whole functionality of the program. The
difference to the registered version is the request for registration, which
will be displayed, when leaving the program or possibly when switching to
the BOOT Menu or the Configuration Editor.
You can test this program for some period of time. If you like it and you have
a use for it, register as a user. Then print the registration form on your
printer, fill it out and sent it to the address mentioned on the form.
Print the form either by pressing the key 'P' when you are requested to
register or by using DOS commands, e.g. COPY REGISTER.TXT LPT1.
Registration fee is only US-$ 28,-. You are requested to enclose in your order
a cheque or cash. If you order more than one copy (with different registration
numbers) add $ 17,- for each additional copy. The registration fee includes
packing and postage. This fee may change one year after the date of this
version. You will receive a version of PP-BOOT, which is the latest on the
date of shipment. The program will be delivered on a floppy disk of the size
you need (please mark with a cross) together with a printed copy of the
documentation.
