  Bootintro Installer 1.1
  By Captain Bifat /TEK
                                                                    1-10-1992

  Disclaimer:
  -----------

  This utility is neither shareware, nor freeware, nor giftware.  It's just a
  heap  of  shit  and  you  may freely mess around with it.  If you decide to
  spread it without this documentation, I don't care.


  Purpose:
  --------

  This  bootblock  install  utility fulfills double purpose.  First, you  can
  install  a  cute  little  TEK  intro  on  a  disk's  bootblock.  Second, it
  allows you to load any binary file containing bootblock data for installing
  it  on  disk.   This  is  great  for  installing  self-written  bootblocks,
  as for example boot menus, boot utilities, and viruses.


  Usage:
  ------

  InstallTEK [df]x[:] [-Lfilename]

  With the -L option set, InstallTEK will try to load the specified file and
  write  its  first  1024 bytes onto a disk's bootblock.  With the -L option
  ommitted, the program will install a TEK boot intro instead.

  
  Examples:
  ---------

  InstallTEK df3:                          Installs a TEK bootintro
                                           on the disk in drive df3:.

  InstallTEK DF0: -Ldh1:bb/virus           Loads and installs the first 1024
                                           bytes of the file dh1:bb/virus
                                           on the disk in drive df0:.

  InstallTEK 2                             Installs a TEK bootintro
                                           on the disk in drive df2:.


  Notes:
  ------

  - The installation of a custom bootblock via the -L option will
    automatically include the calculation of the bootblock checksum.
    So you won't have to perform that manually.

  - InstallTEK is pure.

  - Neither the bootintro nor the Installer hides a virus.

  - Please inform me about bugs and suggestions for enhancements.

  - Greetings go to Ramsau and to Marley/Infect.
