This is a simple little program I wrote so that I didn't have to load windows
every time I boot.  Usually, I go straight to Windows, but when you are trying
some new AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS tricks, booting into Windows only to exit
again is stupid and a waste of time (especially on my 8 MHz 80286).  Therefore,
I wrote WINWAIT.PAS. . .

I know its no gigantic work of artful code, but it gets the job done.  To
implement it, use it in a batch file.  It returns a DOS errorlevel 0 if you
select Windows, errorlevel 1 if you select DOS.  You might alter your
AUTOEXEC.BAT as follows:

	winwait
	if errorlevel 1 goto :end
	win
	:end
	rem Add any final things here that you'd like to do before DOS, or just
	rem call it quits at ":end" (you may omit the "rem" lines!)

I know there are similar--maybe even more sophisticated--programs out there,
but I am too lazy to go searching over countless networks looking for them.

So here you go.  {Legal stuff:}  I will assume no responsibility for your use
or misuse of this program, nor will I retype your 100 page thesis, or re-key
your 32000 entry database;  face it--this program isn't that sophisticated (if
you don't believe me, read the source code).  I hereby release this software
into the public domain.

I don't ask for any payments, but if you really feel like donating to my cause,
I can be bribed at:
