A warm hello
      I hate boot disks. I also hate manually editing my configuation files
  so that each game or program I want to use will have the right amount of
  memory as such. I also hate these other rebooter programs that make you
  memorize a bazillion commands and read a 300 page manual just so you can
  say, "Gee, that wasn't what I really wanted."  What I really hate is large
  price tags on small programs.  I was bored one night and wrote this small
  but very useful program. I liked it and since it seems to be foolproof and
  non-buggy, I think it is a nice little program to have, so I'm giving it to
  you. That's right, the price of this file is whatever you spent to D/L or
  copy it. I request nothing. Enjoy.

Legal Junk

      All rights reserved, we have no responsibility whatsoever for what
  this product does. We recommend you backup your autoexec.bat and config.sys
  files before using this. However, due to extensive testing, no complications
  should happen.


Instructions

      There should be a file in the archive called REBOOT.OPT. This is where
  your multiple autoexecs and configs will go. If you do not have this file,
  don't panic, this text will show you how to create it.

  1: Layout.
       The layout of the file is such that in order to add or delete or
  modify any of your configurations, you need only go into your favorite
  text editor and load the REBOOT.OPT file, and modify it. Reboot reads the
  configurations and choices directly from this file so proper syntax is
  required. A configuration begins with the word DESCRIPT followed by a colon,
  a space and then a letter or number to correspond to that configuration.
  So an example first line would be:

DESCRIPT: 1

  The word must start at the first collumn. After this you may write in any
  comments about the boot configuration as you want. EX:

DESCRIPT: 1    My normal everyday configuration.

  Next, after this line, you will want to start your AUTOEXEC.BAT file that
  corresponds to this configuration. EX:

DESCRIPT: 1    My normal everyday configuration.
PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;
LH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.COM
LH C:\DOS\SMARTDRV 512 512

  To indicate to the program that you are finished with the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
  you must include an END at the end of the configuration. This will not
  effect the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, but it is necesary for Reboot to work
  properly.  EX:

DESCRIPT: 1    My normal everyday configuration.
PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;
LH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.COM
LH C:\DOS\SMARTDRV 512 512
END

  Now you are ready to add the CONFIG.SYS file for this configuration, simply
  begin typing the CONFIG.SYS as you would have it but remember to include an
  END when you are finished. EX:

DESCRIPT: 1    My normal everyday configuration.
PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;
LH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.COM
LH C:\DOS\SMARTDRV 512 512
END
FILES=20
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE noems
END

  This will complete a configurations, to add more configurations simply add
  them on after the END. EX:

DESCRIPT: 1    My normal everyday configuration.
PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;
LH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.COM
LH C:\DOS\SMARTDRV 512 512
END
FILES=20
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE noems
END
DESCRIPT: 2    Bare bones operation
PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;
END
END

  NOTE: Make sure the reboot.exe and reboot.opt files are in your root
  directory.

  NOTICE TO DISK CACHE USERS!!!!!
      When the program asks you if you want to reboot now, wait until your
  hard disk has been written to before hitting your key. If you do not wait
  your files will remain the same.
