_________________________________________________________________________ ! ! ! WarpBoot 4 version 1.0 for OS/2 Warp ! !_________________________________________________________________________! This application will modify the OS/2 boot kernel so that it always displays the names of the drivers being loaded into memory when OS/2 is booting up. (Equivalent to pressing ALT-F2 when the white square shows up before the logo screen.) _________________________________________________________________________ ! ! ! OS/2 revisions supported ! !_________________________________________________________________________! This utility will *ONLY* work with Warp. Version of OS/2 prior to Warp should not be modified using this application. The application should correctly identify all version of Warp (red,blue,connect,Merlin) and all combinations of the fixpacks. In order to avoid problems, you should probably make a backup copy of the X:\OS2KRNL file before using this utility. I.e.: [D:\] attrib -h -s os2krnl [D:\] copy os2krnl os2krnl.bak 1 file(s) copied. [D:\] attrib +h +s os2krnl At this point, you have created a backup of your kernel file and called it "os2krnl.bak". To restore it, you have to type: [D:\] attrib -h -s os2krnl [D:\] copy os2krnl.bak os2krnl [D:\] attrib +h +s os2krnl _________________________________________________________________________ ! ! ! For those of you that have access to the WWW on the Internet ! !_________________________________________________________________________! I used to maintain an OS/2 web site which still exists but hasn't been updated in 2 years (http://cyniska.ubishops.ca/os2/os2.html). One of these days, when I have spare time (spare time?!) I'll copy all of the web pages and rebuild the site. If I get e-mail telling me this would be appreciated, maybe it'll happen this summer...? _________________________________________________________________________ ! ! ! Use of this software ! !_________________________________________________________________________! This software will not expire after a set number of days, etc... Use it to your heart's content. If you like it, send me e-mail. If you really like it, send me a donation. :) Stephane Charette 3880 Thurston Avenue Apt.

Distribution ! !_________________________________________________________________________! As stated above, this application is free for anyone to use. The only restriction to this is that you *CANNOT* modify any of the files without contacting me, and you can only charge for copying or the media used to copy -- YOU CANNOT CHARGE FOR THE APPLICATION! _________________________________________________________________________ ! ! ! Source code ! !_________________________________________________________________________! All of my source code is made available for free. Thing is, I like to see who is interested in my source (just my computer-nerd-type of curiosity showing through!) so if you want my files, you have to send me e-mail. _________________________________________________________________________ ! ! ! Problems & bugs, ideas, upgrades and recommendations ! !_________________________________________________________________________! If any of my software does not run on your system, PLEASE CONTACT ME! All of this software was coded on a Pentium Pro 200 with 64mb ram and IBM's Visual Age C++ compiler. Testing was also done on my old 24mb 486dx33. I don't have easy access to any other machines or configurations, so let me know if it doesn't run correctly on your hardware. _________________________________________________________________________ ! ! !
