FTP sites "blind." Hehe!

Yeah... but besides going blind, some of us have to deal with failing memory - when the link gave me a "no such directory", I tried "asmutils" instead of "bootutils" (that being one I could remember), but forgot about "simtelnet" being in there twice... Good to hear that simtelnet *is* still working properly, but it still ain't what it used to be. For example, I don't think that the "asmsnip" series - 4 zip files, IIRC - is available except from some simtel mirror in France...

I'm not sure that that boot manager is especially virtuous - a good simple one to start with, perhaps. The code's okay, but the commenting style is *horrible*!

mov ax, 0201h ; ah = 2, al = 1

Oh, well... I should talk...

Best,
