- PC Magazine also has a _FREE_ utility called MBOOT (Multi-Boot)
- that allows the selection of 4 different CONFIG/AUTOEXEC combinations.
- It is a little challenging to install, but seems to work well once you're
- done. It probably doesn't have the capabilities of boot.sys, but the
- price is sure right. I use it to boot for DPMI support, Emulation of
- Expanded Memory, and support for VCPI type programs. (Anybody else have
- problems with EMM386 and some older protected mode programs)?
