My apologies to those who have been patiently waiting for my
BOOTMENU distribution to appear on comp.sources.misc as promised.
I have recently been informed that comp.sources.misc may be
without a moderator and that nothing is getting posted.

I have just mailed the package off to the moderator of the
comp.sources.unix newsgroup.  Hopefully, this time it will appear!

Thank you everyone for your patience.

A brief description of the BOOTMENU package is included below
for the benefit of those who missed the earlier announcement.

BOOTMENU is a replacement primary boot sector for MS-DOS compatible
machines which allows boot-time selection of the active hard disk
partition using a menu.  For example, users with both UNIX and DOS
on their hard disk can choose which system to use at boot time.

PFDISK is a replacement "fdisk" command for
installing BOOTMENU without clobbering your partition table.

Note that an earlier version of this package has been posted previously,
but described as "boot-hdp."  Forgive me for renaming it, but I thought
it would be helpful to use the more descriptive name "bootmenu."
