Usage.........STARTUP [drive:] [/DMC] [/NB] [/S?] [/C] [ext]

Startup allows you to have multiple AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
MS-DOS 6 caters for different selections on boot up, but can tend to get 
rather messy with [COMMON] blocks, etc. This program can allow you to tailor 
individual CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files and optionally produce a rather
neater multiple configuration CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

drive:........Optional drive where \STARTUP is located. The default is C:
/NB...........Do not reboot. Needed with most disk cache programs.
/S?...........Duplicate AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS on drive ?:  This is
              needed if your version of DOS does not support pre loaded
              compression (ie before DOS 6)
/C............Do a cold boot as opposed to a warm boot.
/DMC..........Produce DOS 6.XX menu from startup files.

ext...........A Common Extension, ie WIN for CONFIG.WIN and AUTOEXEC.WIN

Startup allows your system to be configured with up to 13 different CONFIG.SYS 
and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.  You modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files and 
save them with the same extension (ie AUTOEXEC.WIN and CONFIG.WIN) in the 
\STARTUP directory.

The drive: parameter must be entered as C: or F:  Normally the files are in
C:\STARTUP, but if you enter G: then the files are looked for in G:\STARTUP.

Passing an extension, ie WIN will look for AUTOEXEC.WIN and CONFIG.WIN in the
STARTUP directory. Passing no extension will allow you to select from a list 
of all AUTOEXEC.* files in the C:\STARTUP directory. In your AUTOEXEC.* file 
placing a REM DESCRIPTION= will use the description you specify in the list.

Once a file extension has been selected, ie WIN the AUTOEXEC.WIN is copied to
C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.WIN is copied TO C:\CONFIG.SYS.  Passing the /SD
parameter will duplicate these files on drive D: as well as C:. Some disk
compression programs, require that the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT is on the
actual disk drive, not the virtual drive created by the compression program.

If you are using a disk cache, then pass /NB for no reboot.  This will allow 
you to flush the cache so that the changes are written to the hard disk. It is
possible that if you do not do this,the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files are 
not modified before the system reboots.

Passing /C will force a cold boot as opposed to a warm boot, providing that the
/NB parameter was not passed.

/DMC is for DOS MULTI CONFIG.  This will create an AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS
file that is a menu in its own right (see DOS manual for more info).  This is
useful if you use different operations systems, such as DOS and WINDOWS NT.

A temporary file called GRREBOOT.COM is created.  A command to delete this file
will be added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if you let Startup reboot the system 
after you select your AUTOEXEC file.
