To Whom it may concern,
This is the latest release of APK BootTweakUI at version 4.0, a DOS 7.0 tuning and security
utility for PowerUsers of Windows95/98 that allows tuning of both DOS and Windows RAM consumption
and allocations for system performance, DOS 7.0 BootTime Settings/Configuration behaviours, and
Where and what version of Windows to boot and where to boot it from.
EXTRACT THIS TO A VALID WINDOWS DIRECTORY; although this is not mandatory it makes using the
program a tiny bit more convenient as it demands you to be in a VALID windows directory at shutdown!
Changes in this release are:
1.) Superior Memory Management internally inside the code.
2.) Faster routines internally.
3.) Greater error checking and redundancy.
4.) Use of the Windows registry as a backup of settings for msdos.sys and memory tuning values in
the event of msdos.sys file destruction/deletion/corruption.
5.) Greater user "Wizard-Like" tips and walk-thrus, mostly on Windows bootup drive and directory change.
6.) Better interface with proceeding users from Left to Right while doing settings.
7.) Support for SCSI and IDE/EIDE BusMastering Controllers thru DoubleBuffering Enable/Disable.
BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF MSDOS.SYS FILE FOR POWER USERS TO EXAMINE AND UNDERSTAND:
