- Hmm. I refuse to pay for anything as trivial as this, so I lived without one
- for a long time (that and the fact that the PD ones I have seen seem to be
- suffering from Software Bloat) until I finally had a MiNT setup which I used
- around 50% of the time. Then I simply wrote a piece of C which asks whether
- I intend to run MiNT, and renames DESKTOP.INF files, AUTO progs and ACCS
- appropriately. Of course, when I want to change a setup, it requires a
- re-compile, but that's 5 minutes work, and I don't have to use one of those
- Damn Great Super-Mega-All-Singing-All-Dancing boot programs.
