! WarpBoot 4 version 1.0 for OS/2 Warp !
!_________________________________________________________________________!
This application will modify the OS/2 boot kernel so that it always
displays the names of the drivers being loaded into memory when OS/2
is booting up. (Equivalent to pressing ALT-F2 when the white square
shows up before the logo screen.)

! OS/2 revisions supported !
!_________________________________________________________________________!
This utility will *ONLY* work with Warp. Version of OS/2 prior to
Warp should not be modified using this application. The application
should correctly identify all version of Warp (red,blue,connect,Merlin)
and all combinations of the fixpacks. In order to avoid problems, you
should probably make a backup copy of the X:\OS2KRNL file before
using this utility.
I.e.:
[D:\] attrib -h -s os2krnl
[D:\] copy os2krnl os2krnl.bak
1 file(s) copied.
[D:\] attrib +h +s os2krnl
At this point, you have created a backup of your
kernel file and called it "os2krnl.bak". To restore
it, you have to type:
[D:\] attrib -h -s os2krnl
[D:\] copy os2krnl.bak os2krnl
[D:\] attrib +h +s os2krnl

! For those of you that have access to the WWW on the Internet !
!_________________________________________________________________________!
I used to maintain an OS/2 web site which still exists but hasn't
been updated in 2 years (http://cyniska.ubishops.ca/os2/os2.html).
One of these days, when I have spare time (spare time?!) I'll copy
all of the web pages and rebuild the site. If I get e-mail telling
me this would be appreciated, maybe it'll happen this summer...?

! Distribution !
!_________________________________________________________________________!
As stated above, this application is free for anyone to use. The
only restriction to this is that you *CANNOT* modify any of the
files without contacting me, and you can only charge for copying or
the media used to copy -- YOU CANNOT CHARGE FOR THE APPLICATION!

! Source code !
!_________________________________________________________________________!
All of my source code is made available for free. Thing is, I like
to see who is interested in my source (just my computer-nerd-type of
curiosity showing through!) so if you want my files, you have to send
me e-mail.

If any of my software does not run on your system, PLEASE CONTACT ME!
All of this software was coded on a Pentium Pro 200 with 64mb ram and
IBM's Visual Age C++ compiler. Testing was also done on my old 24mb
486dx33. I don't have easy access to any other machines or
configurations, so let me know if it doesn't run correctly on your
hardware.
