                  9xRegRev.bat:  9x Registry Revert (v1.3)
                  ****************************************


This document will attempt to simplify the editing of (9xRegRev.bat).


1) (9xRegRev.bat), when run, performs an MD5 self-integrity check.  If it is
   edited improperly, the self-integrity test will not pass, and the program
   will abort.

   After making desired changes to (9xRegRev.bat), the following line
   (at label :1H) within it must then be updated...

   [type @\&\$B.TMP | find "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" > NUL]

   ...where "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" is a 32-character MD5
   checksum.  What needs to be updated in this line is the MD5 checksum.
   The default 9x Registry Revert inserted MD5 checksum is...

   78fbac9fd34b0acad47c0ef537ab0a05

   Instructions for getting an updated MD5 checksum for (9xRegRev.bat) are
   below.

2) The final line in (9xRegRev.bat) must be a blank line.  This is required
   for the MD5 self-integrity check that it performs as a small security
   measure.


PROCEDURE TO GET NEW MD5 CHECKSUM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Save the newly-edited (9xRegRev.bat) file.

* Copy (Get_MD5.bat) and the newly-edited (9xRegRev.bat) to the same
  directory (of course, they may already be in the same directory).

* If (MD5SUM.EXE) is not already installed to one of the system's %PATH%
  directories, then either install it to one now, or just copy it to the
  same directory that the files (Get_MD5.bat) and (9xRegRev.bat) are in.

* Run (Get_MD5.bat).  This should launch Notepad with the new MD5 checksum
  displayed.

* Copy the MD5 checksum into the newly-edited (9xRegRev.bat) replacing the
  old checksum.  Then just save the file and it's "good-to-go".


Note:  For information on editing the (MakeFlop.bat) file, please open it in
~~~~~  a text editor and read the "Notes" section.


                                  THE END
