Does anyone have the following utilities or a link to same? I believe
they used to be available from this URL:

http://www.phoenix.com/products/util.html

=====================================================================
Packaged with the PhoenixBIOS source code are these other programming
utilities:

• PRT.EXE displays the PCI IRQ Routing Table

• PNPBTST.EXE executes and tests the BIOS PnP Run-Time Services.

• DMIBTST.EXE tests and displays the DMI and SMBIOS structures. This
utility does not use the component interface, the service layer, or
the MIF file. This utility does a compliance testing on the BIOS to
verify whether the required fields of the structures contain valid
values.

• NVRAM.EXE, the Non-Volatile RAM System Configuration Data Utility
is utility for displaying and editing ESCD data in CMOS.

Usage: NVRAM [-?,-b[s] [fn],-e[s] [fn],-r [fn],-l filename,-s
filename,-z]

-? : Display this usage screen.
-b [fn] : Display Complete Bitmap Info.
-bs [fn] : Display Summary of Bitmap Info.
-e [fn] : Display Complete ESCD Info.
-es [fn] : Display Summary of ESCD Info.
-r [fn] : Dump Resource Summary of ESCD image.
-l fn : Load ESCD/Bitmap file into nvram.
-s fn : Save ESCD/Bitmap image to a file.
-z : Zero out ESCD/Bitmap image (Load null image).
fn = filename.

finger to keyboard and composed:

Thanks for that. In the meantime I've managed to find most of the
utilities I was looking for in my old backups. I've now posted them on
my web space:
