-- Help !

I want to install on my computer

1) Dos 6.22 + Windows 3.11

2) Windows 95

3) Windows NT4.0

I think I will need a bootmanager. Who has already installed
this systems on his Pc and can tell me, how he did.
Is there any good Bootmanager/shareware, that can help to this
in a good way ?

Thank you very much !!

Ask a friend with OS/2 to give you copies of the Installation
diskettes (2 in the case of 2.11 and Warp 3; 3 in the case of Merlin).
With these you can set up Boot Manager and handle the setup you
described (which I have done numerous times).

Also the latest version of Partition Magic licensed the IBM OS/2
Boot Manager...

Or there is System Commander...which people rave on, but which I
found a bit trickier to play with...compared to Boot Manager.

Shareware? Have no idea if there is any.

BTW: Both Win95 and WinNT wipe out any installed boot management
software. You will need to reinstall boot manager after installing
each. In fact, Win95 and WinNT will tell you that they are going to
do it. ;^]

They don't actually wipe out Boot Manager, they just make their own
installed partition active. All you need to do re-activeate Boot Manager
is run FDISK and make the Boot Manager partition active.
