I'm looking for some kind of utility that will create an AUTORUN.SYS
file to boot a BASIC program of my choice (only one program, no
menus....I want to be able to specify the filename to boot when the
autorun file is created).  I have tried to use a sector editor to
modify the filename in an existing autorun file.  The problem with that
was (it seems) the program placed a fixed number of bytes into BASIC's
line buffer....and my filename was shorter then the original (I haven't
tried to disassemble the 2 sector autorun file and see what the problem
really was).

Anyway......does anyone out there have a handy little utility they
wrote that they would like to share??  If not, I guess I have a
software project to work on.  Post or mail....I'm not picky!
