Nearly right.  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.
