G'day people,

A few months back (not long after the release of 0.1 386BSD in fact)
a German getleman posted a note to this group about his boot manager
program.  It was a small C program that you compiled using Turbo C
and ran from DOS to create a boot record that presents a menu on
booting the machine asking which primary partition you would like to
boot from.  It had all sorts of nice features and worked great on a
friend's system, and I would like to use it on mine now.  Unfortunately
I no longer have the post (which gave and FTP site and filename) or the
program.  If anyone can help me track this program down I'd be very
appreciative.  Thaks in advance,

Richard McConachy - ricky@lindblat.cc.monash.edu.au
