About this program:

The NDos is a boot menu for floppies. Once installed, you may select between

various startup-sequences on that disk. The NDos and the boot menu take

absolutely no disk space at all, so a lot of room is left for your usage.

This makes the NDos the ideal solution for a game dos - store various games

on one disk and boot with the NDos to select one for playing.

The NDos comes with a converter that is used to write the boot code on disk

and to setup the individual startup-sequences.

Version history:

NDos, Version 2.12: Fast forward to 2023. If you really still need this

program, there is a very minor fix, namely arguments that are part of the

$EDITOR environment variable are no longer read as part of the command name,

but as additional (immediate) arguments the editor takes. NDOS still does not

parse the $EDITOR variable fully correctly (in the sense of using the syntax

rules of the shell for quoting) but it should be good enough for many purposes.

Also, the "Clear Menu" item has been replaced by "Start with new menu", which

is probably more intuitive.
