Crawly Crypt Vol 2: Atari ST Boot Utilities

ACC13     Accessory version 1.3 by Murray Levine is a program that will let you
          load all of your accessories out of a folder called ACCS on the boot
          drive instead of loading them out of the root directory of the boot
          drive.  This helps to keep your main directory less cluttered
          especially for hard drive owners.


ACCSLOAD  ACCSLOAD version 1.0 by Marcus Haebler is designed to work together
          with the 5.5.0 version of the ICD hard disk-driver.  This driver is
          able to execute the AUTO-folder from the partition you want if you
          press the corresponding key while booting.  Now you can have multiple
          AUTO Folder setups - each on a seperate partition and use whichever
          one you desire.


ACC_ACE2  Accessory Ace version 1.2 by Kent Kordes.  Just put Accessory Ace in
          an AUTO folder, and It will allow you to choose the accessories you
          want on the desktop.  Accessory Ace is simple to use just follow the
          online menu.  Accessory Ace supports up to 500 accessories and works
          in both color and monochrome.


BOOT162   Booter version 1.62 by Steven Lee is a simple bootup configuration
          program for managing accessories and programs in the AUTO folder.  It
          supports up to ten configurations.  Booter should be the first
          program in the AUTO folder.  Any programs that execute before Booter
          will not be managed.


BOOTSIE   Bootsie by Stefan Krey writes some useful and often needed code to
          the bootsector of drive A:.  It allows also to put your own bootcode
          into the bootsector.  Contains both English and German documentation.


BOOTXBIN  BOOT-X version 1.2 by Dieter Fiebelkorn lets you decide which
          configuration setup you wish to load (Auto programs and ACCessories)
          at boot up.  Includes English and German documentation.


BOOTXS22  BootXS version 2.20 by Christer Gustavsson helps you select what
          should be loaded at boot time.  This version handles DA's, CPX's,
          autoloading programs, desktop.inf / newdesk.inf files, assign.sys
          files, MiNT configuration files (mint.cnf), GEM configuration files
          (gem.cnf), MiNT filesystems (.xfs) and MiNT device drivers (.xdd).
          It's completely Gem-based, and very easy to use.  Shareware!


DESKCHNG  Desktop.inf Change Program by Michael E. Valdez.  This program,
          placed in the AUTO folder of your boot disk will test the resolution
          you are booting into and change the DESKTOP.INF file for whatever you
          want.  The program requires that you produce three files or less, if
          you do not work in all resolutions; let us say, you need one file for
          each resolution you use.


DESKSWIT  Desk Switch by Charles F. Johnson is a versatile and powerful little
          program, that lets you instantly switch from one desktop setup to
          another.  Desk Switch reads .INF files created with the GEM desktop's
          'Save Desktop' function, and sets every parameter saved in the file.
          It can be run as an ordinary program (by double-clicking from the
          desktop), or as an "Installed Application" from the desktop or from
          CodeHead Software's HotWire.  Shareware!


EASYBOOT  Easy-Boot version 1.0 by Steve Wells is, as the name suggests, a very
          simple, no-fuss, no-frills Bootup manager, that can turn programs in
          your AUTO folder, ACCessories, and CPX (X-Control modular
          accessories) on & off, and it can also select different ASSIGN.SYS
          files for GDOS, and alternative Desktop setup files (Which can be for
          the TOS 1.xx desktops, New-Desk (TOS 2.xx to 4.xx), or even for
          things such as TeraDesk, Neo-Desk and other replacement DeskTops!).
          Shareware!


HAZEL_4   H.A.Z.E.L. by Henry K van Eyken is adaptation of a golden oldie named
          H.A.Z.E.L. by the original author, Mr. Greg Knauss.  It facilitates
          trying out or experimenting with a variety of desktops.  It is a
          boot-up, TSR program that takes first spot in the AUTO folder. If one
          presses the left shift key during booting up (after the harddisk
          sign-up messages have gone by), Hazel stops to offer a choice of
          desktops for which appropriately named desktop .INF files have been
          prepared.  If the key is not pressed, the arrangment used in the
          previous session comes up.


MEGMATIC  MEGA-Matic version 1.15 by Lloyd E. Pulley, Sr. is another boot
          configuration program.  Unlike some other boot config programs that
          FORCE you to enter whcih config you want every time you boot, MEGA-
          Matic will default to a certain configuration if it doesn't receive
          any input from you within a few seconds.  This means you can still
          select any boot configuration you want, when you want but you can
          also have the machine boot unattended (and it will use a pre-
          determined confiuration you have chosen).  Shareware!


MOUSEBT1  Mouse Boot version 3.D by Scott R. Lemmon is an Accessory, Auto-boot,
          Desktop, and Assign.sys file manager.  It will switch accessories and
          auto-boot programs on or off, copy Desktop.inf and Assign.sys to the
          root directory of the boot drive, or even allow you to set-up two
          user defined file types to be copied to any active drive.
          Additionally, Mouse Boot will hold up to 20 presets of the most
          commonly used file combinations allowing you to quickly select them
          upon boot-up.  Except where a name or path must be entered, all of
          this can be done without touching the keyboard!  Shareware!


SPBT81    Superboot version 8.1 Gordon W. Moore - latest version of the premier
          shareware boot manager.


TUBS_332  TUBS (The Ultimate Boot Selector) version 3.32 by Andreas Alich is a
          boot configuration program for all versions of TOS. It will activate/
          deactivate auto folder programs, accessories, and let you select
          which Desktop.inf, Assign.sys, and Mint.cnf file you wish to use. The
          program and all docs are in German.  Shareware!
