  Version 18-FEB-2005

    (*) infinite timeout option added to the boot menu

    (*) the bootstrap loader no longer occupies the space used by undocumented
        WinNT Volume Bytes, therefore compatibility with Windows NT/2K/XP is
        improved

    (*) the empty line between the title bar and boot menu has been removed to
        avoid (we hope) the `which color is the selection bar?' confusion when
        there are only two boot menu items, and also to reduce code size

    (*) the installer can now restore and clear WinNT Volume Bytes

    (*) the generic bootstrap loader (formerly in external MBR image file
        STDLOAD.MBR) is now built into the installer

    (*) the installer displays a warning at startup when MS Windows or another
        multitasking environment is detected

    (*) hard disks are now numbered starting from 1, not from 0

    (*) small changes to the user interface, enhanced keyboard navigation

    (*) compressed executable with aPACK

    (*) simplified structure of sources with new Makefile

    (*) documentation updated, shortened `Technical Support...' paragraph

    (*) added URL file

  Version 19-OCT-2003

    (*) fixed a bug that prevented booting from partitions located beyond 8th
        Gbyte (thanks to Michael Andersson for reporting)

    (*) changed CHS/LBA selection algorithm to work reliably with large disks
        partitioned in NORMAL mode

    (*) fixed minor problem with text cursor on Hercules with some buggy
        system BIOSes

    (*) function `Install -> Update partition table only' is now disabled when
        a BOOTMGR boot loader is found on disk, in order to prevent problems
        when the partition hiding table in the loader needs updating as well

    (*) function `Restore MBR' of the installer now can be used for viewing
        saved MBRs without actual writing them to disk

    (*) function `Save MBR' now saves original MBR, ignoring any changes made
        to the partition table

    (*) installer has a slightly different look

    (*) Makefiles adjusted for free Info-ZIP Zip

  Version 30-MAY-2003

    (*) the boot loader can now dynamically hide FAT and NTFS partitions
        depending on OS selection; the installer and documentation modified
        accordingly

    (*) status line in the installer made longer, the messages are now more
        descriptive

    (*) other minor changes to the documentation

    (*) enhanced Makefiles

  Version 15-OCT-2002

    (*) released initial public version
