At Simtel it's PD:<MSDOS.DSKUTL>BOOT_B.ZIP, 4349 bytes dated 910626. I haven't tried it; just looked it up in my downloaded copy of Simtel's MS-DOS directories. Administrative note #1: There's no such newsgroup as comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer, so I've deleted it from the Newsgroups: line. (No, I don't want to hear why you think it exists. Look at the List of Active Newsgroups in news.groups, or at question 103 of the comp.os.msdos.programmer FAQ.) Administrative note #2: It's really easy to get your own copy of Simtel's MS-DOS directories, and then you need never make do with "it's something like" whatever. Software available from Simtel makes searches easy. For details, see section A of the comp.os.msdos.programmer FAQ. > > >Per Solberg >perfred@idt.unit.no / pso@si.no -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems brown@Ncoast.ORG Cleveland, Ohio, USA
