There is a way to restore the Coherent masterboot routine
after installation of DOS 5.0.  A program called BOOTSAVE.COM
(written by Roedy Green and posted in the BIX ibm.utils listings
as BOOTSAVE.ZIP) can save your boot sector before you install 
MS-DOS 5.0, and can restore it after Microsoft trashes it.
Special thanks to "jdgressett" on bix for bringing my attention 
to this nifty utility - it sure saved my day! 

I imagine it could also be used to save your pre-Coherent boot
sector so that you could remove the "Mark Williams" message
after you remove Coherent from your hard disk.

I could post the program here (in uuencoded form) if folks were
interested.  Or perhaps I could mail it to folks individually
(I do not recall the resolution of the tetris source code issue).

PS: I am having a little trouble with uuencode - any hints?
