BOOT'R is a program designed to maintain multiple configurations on a single computer system. BOOT'R allows users to modify a computer's configuration files, and reboot the machine. This allows the creation of optimal configurations for every operating environment. For example, DOS users may want to load certain device drivers that would give trouble under DESQview or Windows. Certain games might require an exhorbitant amount of free memory, which is impossible to achieve with many device drivers loaded. Similarly, some TSRs may interfere with the operation of specific programs, such as tape backup programs. BOOT'R allows the creation of an operating environment without these TSRs. With BOOT'R, different configurations can be used for DOS, DESQview, Windows, and many other programs.
What's so special about BOOT'R? Unlike other configuration management utilities, BOOT'R allows up to FIVE files to be modified for each configuration that is used. Instead of only allowing a user to change his AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files, BOOT'R allows these files to be changed, along with additional ones. Within my company, I find this most useful to modify network files called SHELL.CFG and NET.CFG. This file contains network configuration options that need to be changed from one configuration to another. BOOT'R provides the flexibility needed to accomplish this task.
