DC Boot It v1.0
Copyright (c) 1991 Double Click Software
Program by Keith Gerdes and Michael B. Vederman
DC Boot It v1.0 is a FREEWARE program. A FREEWARE program is one which you may
freely distribute, but you cannot charge for it or alter the program or
contents of the documentation in any manner. Double Click Software retains
all copyright exclusive rights except exclusive distribution.
==============================================================================
DC Boot It allows you to run a 'BOOT DISK' from the desktop. Simply run
DC Boot It, pop in a 'BOOT DISK' (like a game disk) and BOOT IT!
This has the real advantage for accelerated computers, since you can set the
machine speed before booting. You can also go to 50 Hz mode before booting
the floppy disk.
==============================================================================
==================
Running DC Boot It
==================
>To run DC Boot It:
-------------------
1) Run DCBOOTIT.PRG from the desktop. The main menu will appear.
The following options are available (select what's appropriate):
FLOPPY : A or B (choose which drive to boot the disk from)
HERTZ : 50 or 60 (some games only work in 50 Hz)
ST RESOLUTION : This is the resolution to 'pretend' you are booting up in.
2) Insert your 'BOOT DISK' into the drive specified.
3) Click on the BOOT IT! button. The boot sector of the 'BOOT DISK' will
be read into memory and executed. With luck, the disk will run ok.
NOTE: DC Boot It attempts to make the system look like it is uninitialized.
Some boot disks may still not work despite this.
