BT.Doc - BootThru - Purpose ------- Modify a floppy disk's boot sector so that the boot process will "fall through" to the hard-disk, a real plus for data disks, or Sysops who run backup events. No longer will you have to make sure the drive door is open. Format ------ BT [x:] Remarks ------- The x: parameter supplies the drive letter, A: or B:. It is not advisable to run BootThru on Copy Protected program disks. BootThru creates it's own boot sector, so whatever copy protection schemes existed in the boot sector will be lost. BT v1.08 works with DOS4/5/6 formats, which are slightly different than 3.3 and below. Special Thanks -------------- To Vern Buerg, for releasing some of his source code to the public domain, and to Jack Kilday who challenged me to write this program in the first place, and for pointing out a minor flaw in the initial program version - which I had very crudely worked around. Without their assistance (whether they knew it or not), you would not be reading this.
