-
- This package contains BOOT'R (TM) by Stevenson Technical Services, Inc.
- (STSI). This document contains only a brief description of the package
- and its features, along with instructions for its installation. Quite
- detailed documentation is included in the package, but it is in archived
- form, and is more easily read after installation.
-
- BOOT'R allows the management of multiple configurations on a single
- machine. BOOT'R can modify the CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and more.
- Modify up to 5 files for each configuration. Useful for changing files
- such as NET.CFG too! Ideal for creating custom configurations for
- memory-hungry games. Easy to use push-button interface with mouse
- support! Online reference tools are included for the CONFIG.SYS,
- AUTOEXEC.BAT, and NET.CFG files.
-
- BOOT'R is a shareware program. You may use it for up to 2 weeks,
- without charge (see BOOTR.DOC for more details). If you like the
- program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation period, you
- are required to pay for the program (see REGISTER.DOC for more details).
- Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to
- obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and
- distribution services, rather than a payment for continued use of the
- program.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The installation procedure for BOOT'R is quite simple. The package
- includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the entire process.
- You will need about 1 megabyte of available disk space on the hard drive
- on which you plan to install BOOT'R.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received BOOT'R.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
-
- To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
-
- 1. Place BOOT'R distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the appropriate
- diskette drive.
-
- 2. Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
- For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
- the MS-DOS command, "a:install".
-
- 3. Follow the instructions presented by the installation program. You
- will have a chance to approve installation before any changes are
- actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The program will
- ask you for a destination directory, and will copy the BOOT'R
- files to that directory. If you received BOOT'R on two
- diskettes, you will need to insert Disk 2 in the diskette drive
- when asked to do so. If you so direct it, the installation
- program will install executable programs and documentation in
- other directories of your choice.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded BOOT'R from a BBS (or received it in the form of
- archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
- following steps.
-
- 1. Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
- directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this varies,
- depending on the form in which you received the package. In all
- likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means that you
- already have the necessary tools and knowledge to perform this step.
- If not, you should be able to obtain directions for this from the
- same source from which you received the package.
-
- 2. Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
- example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted the
- files is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the MS-DOS command,
- "c:\tempdir\install".
-
- 3. Follow the instructions presented by the installation program. You
- will have a chance to approve installation before any changes are
- actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The installation
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy the
- program files to that directory. If you so direct it, the
- installation program will install executable programs and
- documentation in other directories of your choice.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed the program,
- (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
-
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO
-
- Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the documents
- (filename extension "doc") which have been installed. In particular,
- read at least the "Installation" section of the file BOOTR.DOC. That
- document will tell you how to invoke the program, and will give you
- other information you need to properly evaluate BOOT'R. We hope you
- enjoy the program.
