	At the request of persons to which communication is
	a part of life, the program "yapboot" (herein transfered
	in binary format as yapboo10.zip.b) is available on
	freebsd.cdrom.com: ~ftp/incoming.

	The program is compressed with the MSDOS compression
	program "pkzip".  This method may not be compatible
	with "gzip".   

	The program althought at this point in time, not
	successful with 386bsd 0.1 (w/pk) is a very useful
	program.   An even thought the coding style is a bit
	odd it is the method and use of the user interface 
	that makes it useful, if not superior to other version
	of fdisk (namely MS/PC-DOS).

	I am not affiliated with the person that wrote 
	YAPBOOT, nor am I aware that I have ever communicated
	with this person (for all I know he may not like my
	"net-comments").  None the less, I see his overall
	method of discussion and uses of the YAPBOOT as 
	a communication tool as useful.
