GAG Gestor de Arranque Grafico DEVELOPER FILES This directory contains the developer version of GAG. With the content of this, you can recreate GAG from scratch, and have access to the source code. DISCLAIMER GAG is a program distributed 'as is', without any warranty of any kind. The autor will not be responsible if there's loss of data in your hard disk or other problem. Use it under your own risk. GAG is distributed under a GPL license. Please, read the 'copying' file for details. HOW TO RECOMPILE GAG You need to have Borland's Turbo Assembler, or a compatible real-mode assembler, in order to create the executables for GAG. You need a Linux box too, in order to mix that executables and the instruction files in a single disk image. The file 'haz.bat' is a MS-DOS batch file that creates all of the .COM files for GAG: the 17 versions of GAG for each language (from GAG.ASM); the BOOT.COM program that is stored in the boot sector of the floppy disk, and the INSTALL.COM program, that manages all the installation procedure. In order to execute it, you must have your Borland Turbo Assembler path in your MS-DOS path environment variable. After you have compiled all the files, you must change to Linux, in order to mix all theses executables and the instruction files in a single file, with the right format for a floppy disk image. To do this, copy all the files you have in the directory and subdirectories into your EXT2 partition (you can't execute Linux programs from a DOS partition... or, at least, I can't do it :-). After that, compile the 'mezcla.c' program with your GCC compiler: gcc -o mezcla mezcla.c This will result in the executable file 'mezcla'. Just execute it. It will create a file called 'DISK.DSK', that is the floppy disk image for GAG. CONTACTING THE AUTOR.
