Bootmsg v1.53 allows you to change the Win95/DOS 6 startup message. For DOS, this is "Starting MS-DOS". New to this version, since the previously released version 1.0, is the option to randomly choose a line from a given text file. Added to your autoexec.bat file, this will give you a different message each time you start. You can also specify you wish to change an old version of DOS (must still be v6.xx) under Win95. So you can now specify your message either from the command line, have bootmsg ask you for it, or from a given text file. Numerous additions of various DOS/Win95 versions have also been added. I now have a web page always with the latest version, and instructions on how to chat with me live to discuss bootmsg, or anything for that matter.

no longer need to have numerous of boot disks ready each time you want
to play a game with special memory requirements. Boot also comes along
with a high level of safety, meaning if anything fails (fx: if you don't
have enough memory for a program) - Boot will immediately re-boot your
old an usual system files.

Within the Zip archive file you will find some examples on working
configurations files for, among others, Commanche Maximum Overkill and
Zone 66.

MWRLOAD

Summary: Boot loader runs up to 4 O/S on 1 PC. Freeware
License: Freeware
Author: Marty W. Rhodes
Email: mwrhodes@home.com
Download: mwrload.zip (Oct 2 1999, 50.2K)
Description:
MWRLOAD is a Freeware boot loader utility program that lets you run up
to four different operating systems on one PC. You just hold down the
ctrl key when rebooting and the loader prompts you for which O/S to boot
and run. The loader and install programs are included, along with full
source code for all programs. The loader is not O/S specific and should
work on any standard PC with any O/S. It has been successfully tested
with many versions of DOS, OS2, Win 3x, Win 9x, Win NT, Linux, and Win
2000 Beta. The included install programs are intended for DOS, but
could be easily modified to work in any O/S.

Warning: This program modifies the Master Boot Record on your hard disk
so it is not for the faint of heart. If you are not comfortable running
hard disk partitioning software like FDISK, you should not try to use
this program. On the other hand, if you make a mistake, it is easy to
recover using a bootable diskette with the FDISK program on it.
Recovery and uninstall instructions are included.

MWRLOAD is a very useful tool for those power users who want to run more
than one O/S on a single PC. The source code is also useful for
learning about how your PC really works.
