Are there any PD programs out there that allow you to install a program onto the boot block? If so, could someone please direct me to their location? What I'm looking to do is to make certain programs, like Handshake self- loading, once I put the disk in the drive and power up. Is this possible? Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance... Jeff Beaubien AAW360@URIACC ----> "Mutha [I] don't wanna go to school today..." (Extreme) ---->

Editing s:startup-sequence sure seems a lot easier than editing the boot block to me... -- Dave Schaumann | There is no cause so right that one cannot find a fool dave@cs.arizona.edu | following it. - Niven's Law # 16

Is this possible? Sounds like what you want to do is put Handhsake into the Startup- Sequence on that disk, rather than play with boot blocks. Startup-Sequence is a screipt file in your S: directory that gets executed each time that disk is booted. All you have to do is go in with your favorite text editor and change it to run your program. > Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Well there isn't anything to my knowledge that will auto runt he program but
you can type [withought the quotes] "install device (ie df1: df0:)" then
make a start up and put asll the needed files on the disk.
