- Released into PUBLIC DOMAIN. This is a FREE program.
-
- INTRODUCTION
- Reboot was inspired by a Public Domain program called REBOCNFG.
- The purpose of both programs is to allow you to change your CONFIG.SYS
- file on the fly. REBOOT goes a step further allowing the automatic
- change of your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
-
- CHANGES (2.2) 04/06/89
- Seems some are still having problems with disk caching. A count down
- timer has been added in an effort to solve this. Include the switch
- "/D" (no quotes) to your command line. Example:
- REBOOT PLAIN /D /C
- After the files are copied you will be presented with a delay option
- of 1-99 seconds. The system will then reboot after the elapsed time with a
- cold boot. The /C is optional as a /Warm reboot is assumed.
- If you have not experienced problems with your files not copying before the
- system reboot ignore the slash D "/D" option. If you have experienced
- the disk caching problem please leave me a note on CIS and let me know
- if it solves your problems. C.I.S [ 76416,3452 ] KEN WILCOX

- CHANGES (2.1) 03/24/89
- In response to your request the following features have been added to
- REBOOT:
- {1} No more hardcoding of your configs directory. Simply place
- your various .bat and .sys files in the SAME directory as REBOOT.COM.
- Optionally add that subdirectory to your PATH statement.
-
- {2} Typing REBOOT without any parameters will popup a point and shoot
- screen where you can optionally view the .bat and .sys files.
-
- {3} Adding a slash C or slash W (ie. "/C or /W") will reboot your system
- with a cold or warm boot.
-
- {4} A slight delay has been added so that you can verify that something
- has actually happened.
-
- HINTS
- A few users have reported a problem with REBOOT when using various disk
- caching programs. I suspect that these programs are not passing direct
- writes to the disk until such time as a default buffer fills. If you are
- using such a program there is no immediate fix. REBOOT is know to work
- with Lightening as well as Smartdrv disk caching software without any
- problems as they pass all writes directly to the disk.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- The procedure is very simple.
- Copy the supplied file, REBOOT.COM to the C:\ directory or a
- directory named in your PATH statement. Be sure REBOOT is located in
- the PATH statements of all your AUTOEXEC.BAT variations as described
- later in this documentation.
-
- Next create any variations of your config.sys and AUTOEXEC.bat
- files in the SAME subdirectory you copied REBOOT.COM to. Give the files
- meaningful names such as PLAIN, STANDARD, RAMDRIVE, EMS, etc. The files must
- have the same prefix. For example when using Desqview, a stripped down
- operating system and all expanded memory is needed. For this purpose
- I have two files named DESQ.SYS & DESQ.BAT residing in my c:\CONFIGS
- subdirectory. Now to run DESQVIEW simply issue the command:
-
- REBOOT DESQ
-
- REBOOT handles the rest, copying the DESQ.BAT & DESQ.SYS files
- to the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files and then reboots the system
- with a warm boot.
-
- When finished with Desqview issue the command REBOOT STANDARD and
- the system is restarted with my everyday system configuration. I use
- this to boot up with ram drives, without ram drives, and various other
- parameters that are used often.
-
- The theory behind REBOCNFG was simple and great but most times
- when a new config file is needed you also need different AUTOEXEC.BAT
- parameters.
-
- The only caveat is to make sure you assign two files for each type of
- REBOOT. For example:
-
- PLAIN.SYS PLAIN.BAT
- STANDARD.SYS STANDARD.BAT
- NOEDRIVE.SYS NOEDRIVE.BAT
- RAMDRIVE.SYS RAMDRIVE.BAT
-
- Or whatever works for you.
