- 95 Multi Booter v3.0
- By Fred Salerno
- NOTE: This program requires Windows 95.
- Previously called:95 Dual Booter v1.0
- ----------------------
- WHAT IT IS...
- ----------------------
- This program allows you to select which way to boot up Windows 95. By default,
- you are brought straight into Windows, but with this utility you can choose.
- You have 3 options:
- 1 - Command Prompt
- Which boots up the operating system and goes to the C:\> prompt.
- 2 - Windows 95 GUI
- Which is the normal 95 boot sequence which goes into Windows.
- 3 - Internal Boot Menu
- Which is the internal Windows 95 menu (Safe mode, command
- prompt, Network safe mode, etc..)
- 4 - Previous DOS
- Which boots the computer with the last version of DOS installed
- prior to Windows 95.
- This program has been tested with the "Windows 95 Final Beta" and with the
- official release of Windows 95, currently available in stores. It works
- flawlessly, but as always, no guarantees are made.

- ----------------------
- HOW TO INSTALL
- ----------------------
- The easiest way to install this is to unzip the archive and place these files:
- 95BOOTER.EXE and 95B.EXE
- into your C:\WINDOWS (or other Windows 95) directory. This directory should be
- in the path.
-
- ----------------------
- HOW TO RUN 95BOOTER
- ----------------------
- You may run 95booter from the command prompt by typing 95BOOTER and press ENTER.
- It can also be run from Windows 95. The best way is to add the shortcut,
- 95BOOTER to the Start Button.
-
- ----------------------
- HOW TO RETURN TO WIN95 AFTER PREVIOUS DOS
- ----------------------
- If you have chosen Previous DOS and wish to return to Win95, simply go into the
- C:\WINDOWS (or wherever you installed 95booter) and type 95B and press ENTER.
-
- ----------------------
- IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PREVIOUS DOS FILES
- ----------------------
- Some installations of Windows 95 do not save the previous dos information. This
- can still be easily done. You will need a copy of an old DOS boot disk. Any MS
- DOS version should work. I would suggest not using an original dos-boot disk.
- Use a copy of a dos-boot-disk instead. At the Windows 95 prompt (or in a window)
- Insert the dos-disk and type these lines:
- ATTRIB A:IO.SYS -S -H -R
- ATTRIB A:MSDOS.SYS -S -H -R
- COPY A:IO.SYS C:\IO.DOS
- COPY A:MSDOS.SYS C:\MSDOS.DOS
- COPY A:COMMAND.COM C:\COMMAND.DOS.
-
- This allows the old-dos files to be renamed *.DOS in your root directory.
- From there, The MultiBooter can function flawlessly!
- And, as always, I am not to be held responsible for anything that you may
- do wrong or can go wrong. There is no warranty for this program. You know the
- usual speech...
