Hello FreeDOS people,
At work I maintain CMOS images for a variety of different types of hardware.
When we have a new server going out the door, we boot up FreeDOS on this machine
and run a utility that flashes the correct image to the BIOS. Up to now, we've
been using the Menu command in
Perfect. Thanks Jeffrey and Bret, for the suggestions and code.
It looks like it should work for our environment.
I'll go ahead and modify it and see how it goes.
