BootBase - PUBLIC DOMAIN - by Steven Lagerweij
----------------------------------------------------------------------
BootBase (BB) is a program that makes it easy to backup important
bootblocks, with it you can look at bootblocks, compare them with new
bootblocks, read and write bootblocks to a file, restore damaged
bootblocks from these files.
BootBase uses the Arp.library, since the Arp.library is widely
available it is not included.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
BB uses the logical device BBS: for the AutoCompare function, so you
need to assign this to the directory where you want to store your
bootblocks. Since the AutoCompare function compares ANY file larger
than 1023 bytes from BBS:, you must be sure that there are only
bootblocks in that directory.
(Actually it doesn't matter, it is just very annoying and it takes time)
Click with the right mousebutton (almost anywhere!) to see some help.
The screen of BB is a WBENCHSCREEN, this means that opening any
program that runs on the WB-Screen, after running BB, results in a
window on the BB screen.
I've done this because System-Requests make the WB-Screen go upfront,
and I want to have those on my screen. (easier to answer).
This has advantages but also disadvantages.
One advantage is that if you run VirusX while the BB-Screen is the most
front screen you'll see it opens on the BB-Screen. (of course to start
VirusX from the WB or Shell you have to drag down the BB-screen a bit first.)
In the case of VirusX it's an advantage, but try open some WBench-Drawer
windows and you'll know..
---------------------- IMPORTANT ------------------------------------
This program does NOT test any vectors. If you think you have a virus
switch off your Amiga and start again with your Original WB-disk,
or any other disk, if you know its safe.
BB does not recognize any new virusses only the ones you stored in BBS:.
so use VirusX.
