95 Multi Booter v2.0
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.

----------------------
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 WINDOWS 95 REFUSES TO BOOT
----------------------
This will not occur unless a DOS program has modified the boot sector without
Win95's permission. Heres how to correct them. Nobody should ever need these,
but its good they are here. And we all know how picky Windows is.
1. If you have a Win95 bootdisk, boot from it and type SYS C:
2. If Win95 has a VFAT error, add these lines to your Windows 95 CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\DBLBUFF.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS
3. If Windows 95 says "Does not run on Dos v6.x and below", run the 95B program.
Windows and Windows 95 is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
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...
