FixUtilities copyright (C) 1989-1993 by Padgett - all rights reserved.
FixUtil6 is the October 1993 revision of the FixUtils.
WHAT'S NEW
The FixUtils are now all FREEWARE.
If you find them worthwhile, please drop me a note saying so, it would be
nice to know.
For the Lawyers: A limited license is hereby granted such that any
individual may use these copyrighted programs (see list below) without
any charge of any kind so long as they are not altered nor are any deposited
programs or code fragments altered in any way. Specifically, copyright
notices and logos must display anytime a program or deposited code fragment
executes.
Distribution must include this notice.
Weasel-Words: There are no warranties either granted or implied for fitness
of any kind, use of these programs is entirely at the risk of the user.
Major Changes v6
Additional checking added to CHKBOOT, FIXMBR, FIXFBR, SAFEMBR for the
new crop of directed viruses and some techniques not seen yet but
could be. NoFBoot/SomFBoot now need only 256 bytes as TSR.
Major Changes v5
FixMBR now generates automatically a copy of the original MBR with
a user designated name of up to 7 characters. This .DAT file should be
stored in a safe place off-line. When changed to a .COM file and executed,
the original MBR will be restored.
On machines having BIOS selection of the boot disk, users may now select
booting only from the C: drive for additional protection from viruses.
If the CTRL key is held down during the boot, SafeMBR, following integrity
checking of the hard disk MBR will transfer the boot process to drive A:
to allow booting from floppy for maintenance purposes.
Other
a) For those wishing a special corporate logo to display (e.g. "XYZ Corp.
For Authorized Use Only") or suppression of the floppy boot option,
this can be provided for a one-time-fee.
b) Gifts cheerfully accepted. (POBox 1203, Windermere, FL, USA, 34786)
