  7.    This application will modify the OS/2 boot kernel so that it always
  8.    displays the names of the drivers being loaded into memory when OS/2
  9.    is booting up.  (Equivalent to pressing ALT-F2 when the white square
  10.    shows up before the logo screen.)

  17.    This utility will *ONLY* work with Warp.  Version of OS/2 prior to
  18.    Warp should not be modified using this application.  The application
  19.    should correctly identify all version of Warp (red,blue,connect,Merlin)
  20.    and all combinations of the fixpacks.  In order to avoid problems, you
  21.    should probably make a backup copy of the C:\OS2KRNL file before
  22.    using this utility.
  23.  
  24.    I.e.:
  25.  
  26.       [C:\] attrib -h -s os2krnl
  27.  
  28.       [C:\] copy os2krnl os2krnl.bak
  29.                1 file(s) copied.
  30.  
  31.       [C:\] attrib +h +s os2krnl
  32.  
  33.    At this point, you have created a backup of your
  34.    kernel file and called it "os2krnl.bak".  To restore
  35.    it, you have to type:
  36.  
  37.       [C:\] attrib -h -s os2krnl
  38.  
  39.       [C:\] copy os2krnl.bak os2krnl
  40.  
  41.       [C:\] attrib +h +s os2krnl
