- Ranish Partition Manager Version 2.37.11 September 15, 1998
- IMPORTANT: First of all run INSTALL.BAT, which will make a bootable
- floppy disk, copy partition manager, and save your current MBR on it.
- Then it will be safe to continue.
- IMPORTANT: When you resize FAT partitions you must change its size in
- two (TWO!!!) places: partition entry in MBR (that's the main screen) and
- in the partition's boot sector (select partition and press Enter).
- The help file for partition manager is part.htm. You can view that file
- with Netscape or inside partition manager (by pressing F1). If you run
- partition manager from a floppy, get some mouse driver in order to follow
- hyperlinks in the help. For additional help and information visit my home
- page at http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part/
- New in version 2.37.07:
- There was added a replacement for the standard FAT-16 boot sector code.
- This code resolves the problem with MS-DOS not being able to boot from
- partitions above 2G, because of the bug in its boot sector code.
- With this replacement you can now boot MS-DOS from any partition below 8G.
- In addition to that you can also dual boot MS-DOS and Windows 95 OSR2, which
- also was not available, because of the bugs in OSR2 code.
- To install the code you have to run Partition Manager, select FAT-16
- partition and press Enter. You will enter boot sector setup screen. Then
- press F6 to install new code and F2 to save changes.
- When you format new partition this code will be installed by default.
- To uninstall it you must run "sys.com" of your DOS or Windows 95 system.

- Users of 8G and larger disks, read this:
- At the time of writing this text I am working on the new version of the
- Partition Manager. The new version (v2.38 which is available in BETA now)
- works with disks larger than 8G and eventually will be able to do everything
- that v2.37 does plus many more. It will be the FULLY FUNCTIONAL shareware
- (even if you don't pay a cent you will get the whole thing) with the source
- codes available under GNU General Public License.
- The new version will run in protected mode and require 386 or better CPU
- with at least 2Mb of RAM.
- Therefore this version (2.37) is the last version of Partition Manager that
- - Runs on every CPU (including 8086) with as low as 300Mb of memory.
- - Distributed as freeware with source codes unprotected by any license.
- I will keep a copy of this version on my web site and will fix the bugs.
- So you could use for whatever reason you might have. However, I will not
- provide technical support for this version any more.
- If you want to get technical support you would have to register shareware
- version. The registration costs are very cheap, especially for students: they
- simply have to send me a postcard with a view of their university.
- Actually if you like my freeware program you can send me a postcard too.
- If I like the view of your city I will count it as a registration for v2.38
- and all subsequent versions of Partition Manager.
