+If you are running a Cache program, and do not have it set to write
+through, then (if you have Autocon set for a Warm or Cold boot -- and
+probably External) you must configure Autocon to "Flush" your cache.
+Hit the <F4> key, and put in the command string that causes your cache
+to flush.  The command should be listed in the documentation for your
+Cache program.  Autocon will then save the information, and perform a
+"Flush" before each reboot.
+
+If you are not sure if your Cache is set to "write through", please
+configure Autocon to do the "Flush", just to be on the safe side.
+
+The symptoms of a cache problem is that the Autoexec and Config files do
+not get updated, and/or any edited Autocon configurations do not get
+saved.  In the worst case, the Autocon.Dat file will get corrupted, and
+your screen colors will disappear (screen will be blank when you start
+AutoCon).
+
+Setting Autocon up to do the "Flush" will remove the problems.
+
+Some Flush commands that I know are:
+
+       PC-KWIK -    SUPERPCK /F
+       PC-CACHE -   PC-CACHE /FLUSH
+       FLASH -      FLASH /F?
+       HYPERDISK -  HYPERDK W
+       SMARTDRV -   SMARTDRV /C  (new ver with WINDOWS 3.1)

+
+     I don't know if you read the changes file in the previous version,
+     so I will summarize it.  I sold my home in Santa Barbara, and moved
+     to a small town in Northern California to concentrate on writing
+     shareware full time.  Well (you may ask), how's it going.
+
+     Since my program was reviewed on page 50 in the Nov. 13, 1990 issue
+     of PC Magazine, registrations have increased significantly.
+     Appearantly a lot of people read (and pay attention to) PC
+     Magazine.  Site registrations have really increased, and I now have
+     some Fortune 50 customers.  Banks, however, make up the bulk of
+     the Site Licensees.
+
+     I ran into a few tax problems (it was either pay Uncle a lot of
+     money, or put a lot of money into my house), so I've been
+     consulting pretty heavily the last year and doing major
+     reconstruction to my house.  I think I am finally through with any
+     big consulting jobs (and with rebuilding my house), so now AutoCon
+     will be getting a lot more attention.
+
+     This is still not the release I had planned (it will probably show
+     up some time around July), but one of my competitors was on
+     Compuserve saying how much better he was than I because his program
+     could handle DOS 5.0's HIGH and UMB flags.  I decided I needed to
+     add this capability to AutoCon and get out a new release before he
+     could cause any more problems.  So with this release, AutoCon will
+     handle both MSDOS 5.0's HIGH and UMB flags, and it is compatible
+     with DRDOS which is one up on my competitor.
+
+     The 2.1 release of AutoCon will have a lot more editor
+     enhancements.  I'm planning pull down menus (similar to the front
+     screen), and a split screen capability.  I also intend to allow
+     Search/Replace operations to go automatically through all
+     configurations.  I will also be able to use the screen size in
+     effect when AutoCon is started, instead of switching everything to
+     the 80X25 mode.
+
+     I have a support BBS online and functional.  The number is (916)
+     623 4455, and it is in operation 24 hours a day.  It has a 9600+
+     BAUD modem that is CompuCom CSP, V32, and V42 compatible (of course
+     it connects just fine at 2400 <or less> BAUD).  The main function
+     of the BBS is (of course ) AutoCon support.  If it gets busy
+     enough, it will grow into a full multi-line BBS.  As a consequence
+     there are several megabytes of downloadable files on it, always
+     including the latest shareware release of AutoCon. I will also set
+     up a section for a group of Beta testers, so let me know if you are
+     interested in becomming one.  I see several enhancements in
+     AutoCons future, as well as a few other programs that I have in
+     mind.
+
+     This is my first BBS and I'm sure there will be will be some
+     growing pains, so please bear with me.
+
+     I love the place I've moved to and I thank you very much for the
+     support you have given to AUTOCON, and for giving me the incentive
+     to change careers.

Linux-0.98/INSTALL/autocn/WHATSNEW

@@ -0,0 +1,441 @@
+Version 2.0g
+    I still had complaints about people seeing Echo Off in the Autoexec
+    Bat file, so now if you have a DOS higher than 3.2, it will start
+    with @Echo off.
+
+    If you are using DOS 5.0, A DOS=HIGH,NOUMB line will be appended to
+    the bottom of the Autoexec.bat file, and you will have to put a
+    DOS=LOW (and/ or a DOS=UMB) in the configurations you need them in.
+    Menu.Ctl will control the flags.
+
+    If you are using DRDOS, Menu.Ctl will now work with it as well as
+    MSDOS.
+
+    I've changed the way I load configurations, so you will be able to
+    run AutoCon with less memory, and there is no longer a 6K or 2K
+    limit on the Autoexec and Config fields.
+
+    Each configuration now has the names of the files that the field is
+    written to.  (I've had several requests for this one.)
+
+    The help screen colors are now installable.
+
+    The MENU.CTL interface has been rewritten to show up more distinctly
+    when booting.  I had several complaints that it was easy to miss.
+    It will now put up some distinctive boxex, and show up in color if
+    you have a color monitor.  The colors are installable from AutoCon.
+
+    Each configuration now has the names of the files that the field is written
+    to.  (I've had several requests for this one.)
+
+    You can tell AutoCon not to restore the screen on exit (eliminates the
+    need for AutoConx.exe.
+
+
+Version 2.0e (mainly bug fix)
+    In Single mode if the Enviornment name wasn't set (AltE in the
+    editor) AutoCon could get the wrong cache 'Flush' information.  This
+    is fixed, but I highly reccommend setting the Autocon Environment
+    variable if you are using Single mode.
+
+    If an external editor were being used, and the Autocon or Config
+    field size got too large, the AutoCon.Dat file could get messed up -
+    fixed.
+
+    Several people have complained that 4K and 2K is not large enough
+    for the Autoexec and Config fields, so I'm pushing the size up to 6K
+    and 4K.  Please note that this adds 4K/configuration to AutoCon's
+    memory requirements.
+
+    There are two extra EXE files on the BBS.  AutoCons.exe will still
+    use 4K and 2K for those needing the smaller memory requirements.
+
+    AutoConx.exe will not restore the screen when it exits.  Try this if
+    you lose the cursor or the screen blanks out when you exit (I've had
+    two complaints about this).
+
+Version 2.0d (bug fix)
+    If AutoCon followed an "ECHO OFF" and a "CLS" statement in a batch
+    file, the screen could get slightly messed up - fixed.
+
+Version 2.0c (bug fix)
+    The user modified colors were getting lost if a reboot was performed
+    from the command line - fixed.
+
+Version 2.0b (bug fix)
+
+    MENU.CTL had a problem with the name of the eighth configuration,
+    which is now fixed.  It also had a tendency to leave menu choice 2
+    in the hi-lite mode, also fixed.
+
+    Several people complained about seeing the Errorlevel statements in
+    the AUTOEXEC.BAT during the boot process.  AUTOEXEC.BAT files will
+    now start with ECHO OFF as the first statement if you choose the
+    MENU.CTL option.
+
+    Version 2.0 would allow you to choose more than the eight default
+    configurations.  This is no longer allowed.
+
+    Version 2.0 had a problem writing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file for the Menu
+    mode if the Autoexec fields didn't end in a Carriage Return.  This
+    is now fixed.
+
+
+Version 2.0
+
+
+    I'm jumping the version number from 1.4 to 2.0 for this release.
+    The reason is that AutoCon's capability has changed so much in this
+    release that I think it warrants a Major revision number change.
+
+    The major change is the inclusion of two new files.  These are
+    MENU.CTL and MENUNUM.COM.  Menu.Ctl is a device driver that can
+    disable commands in the CONFIG.SYS file.  MenuNum.Com is a file that
+    will ask the portion of Menu.Ctl that stays resident which
+    configuration was chosen, and set the DOS ERRORLEVEL to that number.
+    This allows setting up menu choices in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to
+    match the choice made from the CONFIG.SYS file.  Together these two
+    files allow you to choose a system configuration from a menu of
+    configurations during the boot process itself.
+
+    AutoCon will handle all of the interface details to these two
+    commands for you, and allow you to return to a "Normal" system
+    configuration in just a couple of keystrokes.  This will allow you
+    to run programs like "Optimize" from Quarterdeck.
+
+
+    There is a pull-down menu system available on the main screen.  Each
+    item on the menu has a context sensitive help entry.  This should
+    make it very easy to get AutoCon up and running the first time, and
+    allow you to look up those commands you can't remember the
+    keystrokes for.
+
+
+    There are two new command line options.  If you enter
+
+      AutoCon /<return>
+
+    on the command line, a window of your configurations will pop up
+    asking you to choose which configuration you wish to use to reboot
+    the system.  This is equivalent to the "AutoCon <configuraion name>,
+    except that AutoCon lets you choose the name from a pick list.
+
+    The second new command is 
+
+      AutoCon /@<configuration name>
+
+    where <configuration name> is the name shown on the main screen for
+    each configuration.  If the name matches the configuration that was
+    used for the boot process, the DOS errorlevel will be set to 1.  It
+    will be set to 0 otherwise.  For this function to work correctly,
+    you need to boot up with Menu.Ctl, or assure that each Autoexec
+    field has the correct name assigned with a SET command. See the new
+    "Put Name in Environment" editor function defined below.
+
+
+    The internal editor has a few new capabilities.  In order to access
+    most them you will have to edit your keystrokes (using the F6 key).
+    The block operations are no longer constrained to full lines.  The
+    default keys for reformating were removed.  You may reassign them.
+
+      "Search Function" (default assigned to ^Q^F) allows you to search
+      the text for a specified string of text.  The string is active for
+      the entire AutoCon session, and will be the same across records.
+
+      "Search/Replace Function" (default assigned to ^Q^A) allows you to
+      search the text for a specified string of text, and relpace it
+      with another string of text.  You will be asked to confirm the
+      replacement.
+
+      "Repeat Search Function" (default assigned to ^L)  This will
+      repeat the last Search, or Search/Replace that was performed.  The
+      informations is retained during the AutoCon session, and will be
+      the same across records.
+
+      "Install Editor Keys" (default assigned to F6) allows you to
+      change the editor keys during an edit session.
+
+      "Put Name in Environment" (default assigned to AltE) will put a
+      SET command in your edit field.  This will guarantee that the
+      configuration you are editing has its name placed correctly in the
+      environment.  AutoCon will use this name for various command line
+      functions.
+
+      "Change (Text - AltF6, Block - AltF7, Control Char - AltF8)
+      Attribute" will allow you to change the keys that call up the
+      editor color installation windows.
+
+      "View Last Dos Screen" (default assigned to AltV) allows you to
+      see the DOS screen as it was when AutoCOn was started.  Could be
+      useful if the reason your changing a configuration is shown there.

+    hours a day.  The number will be (916) 623 4455.

+
+    One of the WhatsNews has to do with me, I am now a member of the ASP
+    (Association of ShareWare Professionals).  The rest of the WhatsNews
+    all concern changes (and additions) to the program.
+
+    You now have the option to use the built in editor to edit the
+    Autoexec and Config fields, or to install an external editor to do
+    the job.  <CtrlF6> will pop up a window for you to enter an external
+    editor's file name.  The Path will be checked for the entered file
+    name, and if found, it will be used to edit the Autoexec and Config
+    fields in the future.  For more info, see the "Installing External
+    Editor" section of AUTOCON.DOC.
+
+    From the command line, typing <AUTOCON /=> will check the Autoexec
+    and Config fields of the current configuration record against the
+    file contents of the current Configuration files (usually
+    C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT and C:\CONFIG.SYS).  The results of the comparison
+    will be shown on the screen.  SPECIAL NOTE! - the configuration will
+    need to have been saved with the 1.4 version of AUTOCON.
+
+    From the command line, typing <AUTOCON /*> will update the Autoexec
+    and Config fields of the current configuration record from the file
+    contents of the current Configuration files (usually C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
+    and C:\CONFIG.SYS).  You might want to be a little careful with this
+    one.
+
+    The internal editor has a few new capabilities.  In order to access
+    them, you will probably have to edit your keystrokes (using the <F6>
+    key).  The new commands are "Split Line", "Cut the marked block",
+    and "Paste the last Cut block".  These commands will be a little
+    more convenient than the current "Write marked block" and "Read
+    marked block" file commands.
+
+      "Split Line" (default assigned to <CtrlN> key) splits the current
+      line at the cursor, leaving the cursor where it is, and moving the
+      rest of the line down to the next line.
+
+      "Cut the marked block" (default assigned to <CtrlK> <U> key
+      combination) will put the current marked block into a text buffer.
+      "Paste the last Cut block" (default assigned to <CtrlK> <P> key
+      combination) will paste the contents of the cut buffer to the
+      current cursor location.  This command can be used to move the
+      data in the same record, or across records.  After a cUt, the data
+      will stay in the buffer until a new cUt is performed, or AUTOCON
+      is exited.
+
+      Formerly the editor only recognized a ' ' (space) as a word mark
+      (for <CtrlF>, <CtrlA>, <CtrlRarw>, etc.).  This has been enhanced
+      to also recognize the following characters as word marks :
+      '/', ';', and '='.
+
+      Line length was increased to 254 for those long path names (and
+      any other long lines needed).  This necessitated removing the
+      word-wrap capability while editing the Autoexec and Config
+      fields (I don't think this will be a hardship, you probably don't
+      want to word-wrap the lines in your Autoexec and Config files
+      anyway).  Word-wrap is still used in the Notes field, but please
+      don't enter a line longer than 127 characters in there.
+
+
+    A couple of functions were also added to the Interactive Mode.
+
+      <AltC> will pop-up a pick list of the current configuration
+      records, and allow you to select one.  The contents of the
+      Autoexec and Config fields of the selected configuration record
+      will be copied to the current configuration record.  Be careful
+      with this one, there is NO "Undo" command.  You can always
+      use ESC to get out of the pick list without doing a copy.
+
+      <AltV> will now show the Dos screen as it was when Autocon was
+      started.
+
+      <Alt=> will check the Autoexec and Config fields of the current
+      configuration record against the contents of the current
+      configuration files (C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT and C:\CONFIG.SYS, unless you
+      have changed them with <F8> or <F9> keys).  SPECIAL NOTE! - the
+      configuration will need to have been saved with the 1.4 version of
+      AUTOCON.
+
+      All of the color changes now show up instantly (you previously had
+      to wait till the next time Autocon was executed to see some of the
+      color changes).
+
+      ESC is no longer accepted as a "Yes" answer (there were a lot of
+      complaints on this one).  A "Yes" answer now requires a <Y> or
+      <Enter> key (accept default).
+
+    There are a few cosmetic changes on the screens (all in response to
+    comments by users).  I won't take the space to list each one.
+
+    There are a couple more entrys on the help screen, and (I hope) the
+    entries are arranged in a little more logical fashion.
+
+    UltraVision : Autocon is now UltraVision "Aware".  Autocon will
+    detect if UltraVision is installed and active.  If it is, Autocon
+    will use UltraVision to switch modes, and restore screens (in other
+    words, Autocon won't mess up your screen).
+
+    Windows Problems :  After spending a very unproductive day on the
+    phone with Microsoft, I decided to add another boot type option to
+    Autocon.  Several people use Autocon to reconfigure in and out of
+    Windows.  When Windows is running in 386 enhanced mode, a software
+    boot (usually) doesn't work.  Microsoft's recommendation : "Never
+    reboot while running Windows".  They say that this may trash hard
+    disks and worse (I'm not sure what could be "worse" than trashing a
+    hard disk).  I don't know about you, but I've had to reboot out of
+    Windows several times.  I know it's probably not a good idea, but
+    there are times it should be quite safe (and times when it is forced
+    upon us).  Anyway, they say that is no way they are aware of to
+    ensure that a software reboot will work.
+    Therefore :
+
+      You may now select (N)one as an alternate boot type (using the
+      <F5> key). If you select (N)one, Autocon will now reconfigure the
+      files, but will not attempt a reboot.  Now you may run Autocon
+      under Windows, and after the system files are reconfigured, you
+      can hit the dreaded CtrlAltDel key combination.
+
+      By the way, I'm not much of an artist, so if someone (out of the
+      goodness of their hearts) designs a nice Icon for Autocon, I would
+      appreciate them sending me a copy.
+
+
+    A potentially nasty bug was squashed.  Since I never received a
+    complaint on this one, I assume that I was the only one "bit".  If
+    your current configuration record was the last one, and you deleted
+    it,  Autocon tried to find it again the next time it was started.
+    This could lead to bizarre behavior (a messed up pointer for those
+    technical people).  If the current record number is larger than the
+    max record number, it will now be adjusted (with appropriate warning
+    message).  It will still be pointing to the wrong record, but it
+    will behave in a known fashion.
+
+  ______________________________________________________________________
+
+Version 1.3a
+
+    There are a few bug fixes, and a couple of enhancements in this
+    version.  If you used F2 to save changes in the previous versions,
+    when you hit ESC to exit it would issue a warning that the changes
+    were about to be lost, this has been corrected.
+
+    AUTOCON will now attempt to detect and restore the EGA/VGA (45/50)
+    small character mode upon exit.
+
+    After updating the configuration with 1.3a, when AUTOCON is started
+    in the interactive mode, it will default to the configuration used
+    in the last update.
+
+    On the command line if you type <AUTOCON /?> the name of the current
+    configuration will be displayed (Note: you must have saved a
+    configuration with V1.3a first).
+
+    If you are in the full screen entry mode, hitting <F7> will update
+    the Autoexec and Config fields in the current record from the
+    current AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.  This saves going into
+    each of the two fields and doing a <F5> <^KR> <AltX>.
+
+    From the command line, typing AUTOCON followed by a / and the name
+    of a configuration (e.g. <AUTOCON /NoTSRs>) will cause that
+    configuration to have it's Autoexec and Config fields updated from
+    the current AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
+
+    There was a bug in V1.3 that caused AUTOCON to have a problem with
+    reading files that were not terminated with ^Z.  If you got an
+    "Edit Buffer Full" message when you tried to edit a field that you
+    know wasn't too big, then you were bitten by this bug.  This is
+    fixed in 1.3a.
+
+    If you were in one of the fields and issued an <^KW> (block save)
+    and didn't have a marked block, you were not given an error message
+    in previous versions.  This is fixed in 1.3a.
+
+    The help screen displayed in a color change window was the one for
+    changing the editor keystrokes. This is fixed in 1.3a.
+
+  ______________________________________________________________________
+
+Version 1.3
+
+    There are several changes in this version.  If you have added
+    several extra configurations that you no longer need, the <CtrlF3>
+    key will delete the current configuration (you can't delete record
+    one, nor can you go below five records).
+
+    You can change the keystrokes used by the built in editor.  Hitting
+    the <F6> key in the main menu will pop up a key editor which will
+    allow changing the actions of all of the control keys used in the
+    editor.
+
+    You can change the colors used by AUTOCON.  Hitting the <Alt> key in
+    combination with the function keys will allow customization of most
+    of the colors.  The use of each key is detailed in the pop-up help.
+
+    The DAT file format for 1.3 is quite different than the one for 1.2.
+    The white space has been eliminated, and as a consequence it is
+    significantly smaller (mine are about 1/4 the previous size). The
+    first time you run 1.3 it will change the format, and the DAT file
+    will no longer be compatible with 1.2.  You may want to make a copy
+    of AUTOCON.DAT (just to be on the safe side) before running 1.3.
+
+
+  ______________________________________________________________________
+
+Version 1.2d keeps current file attributes
+
+    A request was made to update the Autoexec and Config files, but to
+    not change their current attributes (system, read only, hidden,
+    etc.).  Therefore AUTOCON now reads the current file attributes of
+    Autoexec.Bat and Config.Sys before updating them, and restores the
+    attributes after the update.
+
+
+  ______________________________________________________________________
+
+Version 1.2c adds a boot type select.
+
+    Some computers have trouble with the warm boot that AUTOCON was
+    originally configured with.  These seem to mainly be machines with
+    large hard disks, and a large hard disk manager.  The <F5> key now
+    allows you to change the boot type from warm to cold to get around
+    this problem.
+
+
+  ______________________________________________________________________
+
+Version 1.2a is a bug fix.
+
+    AUTOCON didn't recognize more than three configurations from the
+    command line.
+
+
+Version 1.2 is a bug fix.
+
+    When you attempted to read in your old configuration files to the
+    AUTOEXEC and CONFIG fields, it always defaulted to C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
+    an C:\CONFIG.SYS no matter what files you had selected.  The read
+    file option now works correctly.
+
+
+  ______________________________________________________________________
+
+Version 1.1 charges are as follows.
+
+  1. AUTOCON now does a Reboot when a reconfiguration is done from the
+     command line.
+
+  2. AUTOCON now handles up to 50 configurations (originally only 5).
+
+  3. You can now read any file into an AUTOEXEC or CONFIG edit field
+     (allows you to use your old configurations).
+
+  4. The On-line Help has been updated/enhanced.
+
+  5. The Doc file has been enhanced (left out a few things the first
+     time).
+
+  6. Allows you the choice of a Reboot when reconfiguring in the data
+     entry mode.
+
+  7. Hopefully a better choice of colors on an LCD screen.  If you have
+     an LCD, you need to have your mode set to BW80 (2).

+NAME
+	pfdisk - partition fixed disk
+
+SYNOPSIS
+	pfdisk device
+
+DESCRIPTION
+	pfdisk partitions the fixed disk identified as device  into  (at
+	most) four parts, each of which	may be independently loaded with
+	an operating system.  The actual name of device	depends	 on  the
+	operating  system  in  use.   For ESIX (System V/386) the device
+	name is	either "/dev/rdsk/0s0" or "/dev/rdsk/1s0".   For  Minix,
+	it is "/dev/hd0" or "/dev/hd5".	 For MS-DOS it is a single digit
+	(zero or one).
+
+	pfdisk reads the hard disk partition table from	 block	zero  of
+	device	into  memory  and allows the user to examine, modify, or
+	save the partition table.  A regular file may be used instead of
+	a  real	 device	for testing purposes, though the device	geometry
+	must be	specified manually, and	some  systems  will  requrire  a
+	file-name argument with	the "R"	and "W"	commands (DOS, ESIX).
+
+	The partition table on device is NOT modified unless  the  write
+	command	(W) is used with no argument.
+
+USAGE
+  Commands
+	All pfdisk commands  consist  of  a  command  word  followed  by
+	optional  blank-separated command arguments.  Note that	only the
+	first letter of	a command word is significant (except  for  "wq"
+	and  "q!").  All command letters are accepted in either	upper or
+	lower case.  Numeric arguments are  specified  using  C	 syntax.
+	Extra arguments	are silently ignored.
+
+	The commands are:
+
+	?	Prints a command summary (help).
+
+	1 sys_id first last sys_name
+		Set the	partition  table  entry	 for  part  one,  using:
+		sys_id	as  its	system ID code,	first as the lowest num-
+		bered cylinder it uses,	last  as  the  highest	numbered
+		cylinder  it uses, and sys_name	(optional) as the system
+		name (in the menu name table).
+
+	2|3|4 sys-id first last	sys-name
+		Similar	to 1 but sets partition	 two,  three,  or  four,
+		respectively.

+	save-file is a complete	record of the  partition  table.   On  a
+	UNIX system, one could use save-file to	re-initialize the parti-
+	tion table using the command:
+
+		(cat save-file ; echo wq) | pfdisk device-name
+
+	Consistency of each partition table entry is checked  while  the
+	table is listed.  Any inconsistencies discovered are reported in
+	a commentary note as shown above.
+
+  Physical vs. Logical
+	Each partition table entry has both "physical" and  a  "logical"
+	fields.	  The  physical	 fields	 specify  the lowest and highest
+	cylinder,head,sector combinations to be	used in	that  partition.
+	The  logical  start  field has the total number	of sectors which
+	precede	this partition,	and the	logical	 length	 field	has  the
+	total  number  of  sectors  contained  in this partition.  These
+	fields should be self consistent unless	the disk has  more  than
+	1024 cylinders.
+
+	The physical cylinder fields are only ten-bits wide so the  con-
+	tents are limited to 1023. The logical sector fields are 32 bits
+	wide and always	show the true logical beginning	 and  length  of
+	the partition.	Generally, the physical	start field is used only
+	to locate the secondary	boot sector, and the logical  start  and
+	length fields are used to actually delimit the partition used by
+	a particular system.
+
+  Partition Names
+	The Name field in the partition	table is  treated  specially  if
+	the  bootmenu  program	is installed in	the primary boot sector.
+	(See the file bootmenu.doc for	more  information.)  pfdisk  can
+	recognize  the	name  table  used  by bootmenu and will	show the
+	actual names present in	that name table.  If any other boot pro-
+	gram  is  used	then  the  Name	 field	reflects the result of a
+	table-lookup of	the system ID.
+
+	If you provide a name when  setting  any  partition  entry,  the
+	boot-sector  is	 marked	as using a name	table, so that on subse-
+	quent uses of pfdisk you will see the partition	names  you  have
+	specified.
+
+  Boot program replacement
+	You can	replace	the boot program in  your  boot	 sector	 without
+	affecting  the	partition  table  by  using  pfdisk  as	follows.
+	First, (as always) save	a copy of the current boot sector (on  a

+	mand to	read the new boot program.  If the boot	program	read  in
+	is  less  than	446  bytes  long,  the	partition  table will be
+	unchanged.
+
+	Unlike the DOS or UNIX fdisk programs, pfdisk has NO  boot  pro-
+	gram  compiled	into  its  executable image.  If you wish to use
+	pfdisk to partition a newly formatted hard disk, you must have a
+	boot  program image available to read in using the "r file" com-
+	mand.  Two boot	programs, "bootmenu.bin" and "bootauto.bin"  are
+	distributed  with  pfdisk  and	should	be found with its source
+	files.	See the	file bootmenu.doc for further information  about
+	these boot programs.

+RaWrite 1.2
+-----------
+
+Purpose
+-------
+
+Write a disk image file to a 360K floppy disk.
+
+
+Equipment/Software Requirements
+-------------------------------
+
+PC/XT/AT with a floppy disk drive capable of reading and writing a 360K
+diskette.
+
+This program uses generic low-level BIOS diskette read/write functions.  It
+should be portable to nearly every PC in existance.  PS/2's should be able
+to run RawWrite but this has not been tested.
+   
+
+CAVEAT
+------
+
+This program will write ANY disk file to a floppy, overwriting any previous
+information that may have been present.  If you wish to re-use a diskette
+under MS-DOS thats been written to by RawWrite then the disk will need to be
+reformatted; all MS-DOS specific information will have been erased.
+
+
+How to Compile
+--------------
+
+TCC rawrite.c
+
+The source code is specific to Borland International's Turbo C 2.01 and has
+been tested in all memory models.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+C> RAWRITE
+
+And follow the prompts.  All arguments are case-insensitive.
+
+A sample run is shown below.  The disk file being written, in this example,
+is named DEMODISK and the destination - where the image is being written -
+is the B: drive.
+
+This program may be aborted at any time by typing ^C.
+
+
+Sample Run
+----------
+
+C> RAWRITE
+RaWrite 1.2 - Write disk file to raw floppy diskette
+
+Enter source file name: DEMODISK
+Enter destination drive: B
+Please insert a formatted 360K diskette into drive B: and press -ENTER- :
+Writing image to drive B:
+
+
+Errors
+------
+
+RaWrite attempts to determine if the diskette is a 360K, 720K, 1.2M, or
+1.44M diskette by reading specific sectors.  If the inserted diskette is not
+one of the mentioned types, then RaWrite will abort with a short error
+message.
+
+Errors such as write protect, door open, bad disk, bad sector, etc. cause a
+program abort with a short error message.
