AiR-BOOT v0.24b - BUG

Sorry, but the latest release contains a stupid bug of mine. If you don't "Include Floppy" from AiR-BOOT Setup, it will boot the partition following the one you selected.

I'm rejecting 0.24b release and I will give out a fixed 0.25b version in short time. Sorry.

If you got 0.24b, just select "Include Floppy" in AiR-BOOT Setup and everything should work normally.

Sorry about that. 0.25b should get released in 1-2 days.

WarpZip and Enhanced E updates

WarpZip and the Enhanced E Editor have been updated.

New in WarpZip (v3.5) is the ability to do clean up's in a more secure fashion. When expanding archives for a trial run, WarpZip offers a "Clean up" button that deletes the files as well as the objects that are created when they are unzipped. We have added a new page to the settings notebook to allow the user to have those files overwritten with nulls before they are deleted. Overwriting the files will make them inaccessable to anyone trying to recover your deleted data (without the help of some very expensive equipment).

WarpZip is $29 and is available through BMT Micro, Mensys and others.

The Enhanced E Editor has been updated. New features in v2.6 are:

 F11 and F12 accelerator keys added for "Ring" navigation.
 Allow opening several files from commandline by using wildcards. (Example: eee *.txt will load all txt files in the current directory into a ring)
 Code templates follow auto-indent if it is on.
 Added selected text jusification tool.

The Enhanced E is $25 and is available through BMT Micro, Mensys and others.

AiR-BOOT v0.24b Released

Well, finally next Public Beta got released today as late X-Mas present AiR-BOOT is a Multi-Boot-Loader, which sits completely (including its setup) in the MBR, which means no real space on the harddisc is used. It has advanced anti-viral protection, colored Setup/BootMenu, special Linux support, Password-Protection and much more.

Get more info and download v0.24b from http://kiewitz.ath.cx/air-boot/.

This version is Public Beta again without any restrictions built-in.
=PLEASE DONT UPLOAD this Public Beta to *ANY* FTP/HTTP Site.=

Next version will include Hiding partitions/Partition Setup and perhaps some sort of FDISK-like tool.

Fixes this time:

- Second Open-Public Beta Version - EZ-SETUP Detection (will not install on such systems)
- Scrolling in Bootmenu now possible (if more than 14 bootable partitions)
- Floppy: Get VolumeLabel and the Every-2-Seconds-Get Option are now functional.
- AIRBSET may be executed from the floppy, where it will write to. previously this resulted into an error-message and a damaged disc
- Delay for entering Setup got expanded

P.S.: I will get some time for fixing up more MDOS-games soon.
