- 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.
