| 3 | +along with the associated PostScript (ps) file, which (so I could |
| 4 | +read it) was converted to the included Portable Document File (pdf). |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +It is included within the base set as an equivalent program to |
| 7 | +IBM's PC-DOS 2000's DYNALOAD utility program, which performs |
| 8 | +a similar action of allowing one to load device drivers (*) from the |
| 9 | +command prompt, i.e. after config.sys processing has long since been |
| 10 | +completed. However, the author of this program may not be aware of its |
| 11 | +usage in this manner (though its use should be compliant with the GPL). |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +* No guarentee is made that any particular device driver will load |
| 14 | +in this manner. |

| 28 | +� 1992, 1993 David Woodhouse. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +This was my `A' level Computing Project, submitted in Summer '93. The |
| 31 | +project writeup is provided as it was submitted. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +DEVLOAD provides a method of loading device drivers from the command |
| 34 | +line under MS-DOS, rather than having to re-boot in order to load extra |
| 35 | +drivers. |
