INSTALLATION:

Extract to your Windows directory and run it, it is fully self-guiding intelligent code.

ABOUT PROGRAM:

	This is the latest release of APK BootTweakUI at version 4.0, a DOS 7.0 tuning and security
utility for PowerUsers of Windows95/98 that allows tuning of both DOS and Windows RAM consumption
and allocations for system performance, DOS 7.0 BootTime Settings/Configuration behaviours, and
Where and what version of Windows to boot and where to boot it from.

	In essence, what Microsoft's TweakUI does for Windows, this does for the DOS 7.0 Portion of 
Windows95/98... and more like VCache Memory use tuning.

	EXTRACT THIS TO A VALID WINDOWS DIRECTORY; although this is not mandatory it makes using the
program a tiny bit more convenient as it demands you to be in a VALID windows directory at shutdown!

Changes in this release are:

1.) Superior Memory Management internally inside the code.
2.) Faster routines internally.
3.) Greater error checking and redundancy.
4.) Use of the Windows registry as a backup of settings for msdos.sys and memory tuning values in 
    the event of msdos.sys file destruction/deletion/corruption.
5.) Greater user "Wizard-Like" tips and walk-thrus, mostly on Windows bootup drive and directory change.
6.) Better interface with proceeding users from Left to Right while doing settings.
7.) Support for SCSI and IDE/EIDE BusMastering Controllers thru DoubleBuffering Enable/Disable.
8.) Saves Screen Height, Width, Positions Left and Top, and last tab used.
