| BOOT DISK MAKER |
| for TOP GUN: FIRE AT WILL! |
| Version 1.9 1/30/96 |
| by Samuel Kolb |
+-------------------------------------+
Introduction
------------
This boot disk maker will make a boot disk for use with
Top Gun: Fire at Will. It works by reading your AUTOEXEC.BAT
and CONFIG.SYS files on your hard drive, identifying the
necessary drivers (CD-ROM drive, mouse and sound card) and
writing a new version of AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to
a floppy disk in drive A.
How It Works
------------
The boot disk maker compares sub-strings from the INCLUDE.LST
file with each line in the open file (either AUTOEXEC.BAT or
CONFIG.SYS). It then copies those lines which contain the
sub-string to the appropriate file on the floppy disk. The
program _does not_ write anything to your hard drive. Items
in the REMOVE.LST file override those in the INCLUDE.LST file.
Duplicate lines are also not copied.
How to Use the Boot Disk Maker
------------------------------
Before you begin, make sure you have a formatted floppy disk
ready. To format a floppy disk, insert a blank disk into
drive A and type "FORMAT A:" at the DOS prompt.
The boot disk maker contains four files: BOOTDISK.BAT,
INCLUDE.LST, REMOVE.LST and BOOTKMR.EXE
1) Copy all of the above files to a single directory on your
hard drive. For example, type "COPY BOOT*.* C:\TOPGUN" and
then "COPY *.LST C:\TOPGUN" to copy the files to your
\TOPGUN directory.
You can also run the boot disk maker from a floppy disk as
long as the floppy disk is _not_ write-protected and all of
the above files are on the floppy disk.
2) Change to the directory where you copied the above files.
For example, type "CD \TOPGUN."
3) To run the boot disk maker, type "BOOTDISK" and press Enter.
4) The program will ask you to insert a floppy disk into drive
A. Make sure you use a formatted floppy disk.
5) The program will then ask if your computer runs Windows 95.
Press "Y" for "Yes" if you have Windows 95 on your computer
6) The program will write the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files
to the floppy disk in drive A.
To use the boot disk for Top Gun: Fire at Will, insert the boot
disk in drive A and reboot your computer.
Multiple Boot Configurations
----------------------------
If you are using a multiple boot configuration under DOS, you
may have multiple copies of certain lines in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
and CONFIG.SYS files on the boot disk. Using a text editor, you
should edit these files to remove any duplicate lines.
