No other utility is needed, WUTIL will take care of that for you...  My
Rainbow has 6 boot partitions: 4 for MS-DOS, 1 for CP/M, and 1 for CCP/M.
All this was done with WUTIL (and an old version at that).  Even if you
stick with 4 or less boot partitions, I'd prefer the WUTIL boot menu.

I sent our list moderator, Rob Locke, a copy of the latest version (WUTIL,
V3.11).  He mentioned that he would distribute it on a request basis.  He
can be reached at <rl1b+@andrew.cmu.edu>.
