95 Multi Booter v3.0 By Fred Salerno NOTE: This program requires Windows 95. Previously called:95 Dual Booter v1.0 ---------------------- WHAT IT IS... ---------------------- This program allows you to select which way to boot up Windows 95. By default, you are brought straight into Windows, but with this utility you can choose. You have 3 options: 1 - Command Prompt Which boots up the operating system and goes to the C:\> prompt. 2 - Windows 95 GUI Which is the normal 95 boot sequence which goes into Windows. 3 - Internal Boot Menu Which is the internal Windows 95 menu (Safe mode, command prompt, Network safe mode, etc..) 4 - Previous DOS Which boots the computer with the last version of DOS installed prior to Windows 95. This program has been tested with the "Windows 95 Final Beta" and with the official release of Windows 95, currently available in stores. It works flawlessly, but as always, no guarantees are made. I may be contacted at: SALERNOF@GATE.NET ---------------------- HOW TO INSTALL ---------------------- The easiest way to install this is to unzip the archive and place these files: 95BOOTER.EXE and 95B.EXE into your C:\WINDOWS (or other Windows 95) directory. This directory should be in the path. ---------------------- HOW TO RUN 95BOOTER ---------------------- You may run 95booter from the command prompt by typing 95BOOTER and press ENTER. It can also be run from Windows 95. The best way is to add the shortcut, 95BOOTER to the Start Button. ---------------------- HOW TO RETURN TO WIN95 AFTER PREVIOUS DOS ---------------------- If you have chosen Previous DOS and wish to return to Win95, simply go into the C:\WINDOWS (or wherever you installed 95booter) and type 95B and press ENTER. ---------------------- IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PREVIOUS DOS FILES ---------------------- Some installations of Windows 95 do not save the previous dos information. This can still be easily done. You will need a copy of an old DOS boot disk. Any MS DOS version should work. I would suggest not using an original dos-boot disk. Use a copy of a dos-boot-disk instead. At the Windows 95 prompt (or in a window) Insert the dos-disk and type these lines: ATTRIB A:IO.SYS -S -H -R ATTRIB A:MSDOS.SYS -S -H -R COPY A:IO.SYS C:\IO.DOS COPY A:MSDOS.SYS C:\MSDOS.DOS COPY A:COMMAND.COM C:\COMMAND.DOS. This allows the old-dos files to be renamed *.DOS in your root directory. From there, The MultiBooter can function flawlessly! And, as always, I am not to be held responsible for anything that you may do wrong or can go wrong. There is no warranty for this program. You know the usual speech...
