Hi!
With help of Michael Devore, on his site placed version 1.4 of BOOTFIX.
This version is now compilable both by Borland C and OpenWatcom. It shows
slightly more information (to ease using logs even without dumps), before
reading BPB added reseting disk (look like this is sometime required for
FreeDOS, when applied to removable media) and there are other minor changes.
Thanks for Jim Lilly for his long efforts in testing bootfix in different
environments.
Place is usual: <ftp://ftp.devoresoftware.com/downloads/bootf14.zip>.
In next edition may/should be added possibility to check boot sector
inside files-disk images, then may be added possibility to fix some minor
inconsistencies in boot record (like undefined geometry fields or nonzero
root_entries field).
PS: Looks like Jim Hall also mirrors bootfix utility on ibiblio:

Jim, when (and if) you mirror version 1.4, please, notify me. Also, please,
remove older versions (bootfix1 and bootf12), because they are preliminary
editions.
