Hello Everyone (and happy new year):

I'm forwarding E-Mail from Hayo Baan, the maker of "bootAble". bootAble is software
that enables you to create a bootable CD of your system. The bootable CD can serve
as a maintenance partition or as a way to recover your system should it crash.
bootAble has many features, too numerous to mention here (so I'll list only a few):

1. Scripted program wherein you respond to questions so that you can
construct the type of bootable CD that you want, with the bells and whistles that you want
(you save the results to a configuration file, which you use on future creations of the CD)

2. Create a bootable CD that has WorkPlace Shell (WPS) provisions:
A. Boot to the WPS
B. Boot to a commandline and later (if you want) invoke
the WPS

3. Create a bootable CD that boots to the OS/2-ECS commandline

4. Support for REXX (Classical or Object Rexx for the WPS boot;
classical REXX for the commandline boot)

5. Support for Back Again/2000, Norman Antivirsus, Injoy Dialer, PMView
and a few other apps.

6. Runs CHKDSK on your system, as needed (if you set it up that way), to
protect you in the event of a dirty shutdown

I'm now using the latest version, 3.6, on my system. I recommend using bootAble as an
integral part of your crash recovery system. If anyone has questions about setting up
and using bootAble, I'll be happy to help.

Hello bootAble users,

First of all a very happy new year to you all!

I've released a new version of bootAble. Version 3.6 is basically a
maintenance release and contains only minor enhancements and bug-fixes.
Apart from the regular .zip archive, bootAble is now also available as
.wpi, including Config Maker written by Doug Bissett. Config Maker
helps you to, even more, easily create bootAble CD's and maintenance
partitions.

A newer version (dated 29/11/2004) of the memdisk software of Veit
Kannegieser is also available.

As always, you can find the latest versions at http://www.xs4all.nl/~hrbaan

v3.6 (02/01/2005)

* Created a .wpi version of bootAble (thank you Doug Bissett);
* Added Doug Bissett's config maker program (included in the .wpi
version of bootAble);
Config Maker helps you to, even more, easily create bootAble CDs
/Maintenance Partitions.
* Added a generic networking question, if you set this to NO, no
further networking questions are asked (NETWORKING);
* Settings of TCPIP, NETBIOS, and NETBIOSTCPIP are now determined
automatically based on contents of the config.sys file;
* Adoptations for minimal eCS 1.2 installation;
* pmwsock.dll is now included by default when TCP/IP support is enabled;
* Doug Bissett adopted bootAble.injoy; it now supports both v2.3 and
v3 (bootAble.injoy)
Note: Please remove the file bootAble.injoy3 if you still have it;
* Doug Bissett adopted bootAble.norman; the automatic tasks are not
included anymore (bootAble.norman);
* Now working: automatically checking HPFS filesystems
(HPFSAUTOCHECK) in combination with a memdisk boot;
* Fixed the option to turn-on the process kill feature of the
WarpCenter (WPSWCKILLFEATURE).
