The following programs from American Eagle Publications are designed to help
manipulate boot sector viruses.

ULTRADSK            Use this tool to save boot sector viruses from infected
disks. It is very slow and meticulous but it won't miss any of the tricks
viruses use to hide. It searches for hidden, odd numbered sectors, it searches
for extra, hidden tracks, etc. If you send boot sector viruses to us, please
use this tool to save them and zip the resulting file. To learn how to use it
just type ULTRADSK and follow the instructions.

RWIMAGE             This tool is used to save and restore boot sector viruses.
It is much faster than ULTRADSK and it will work 90% of the time. All of the
boot sector viruses on this CD are stored as IMG files made with this program.
One advantage of this program is that it will allow you to make an unusual
format disk, e.g., you can make a standard 360K disk out of a 3-1/2" floppy.
To use it, just type RWIMAGE and follow the instructions.

PUTBS               This program puts a boot sector stored in a file onto
floppy disk. Just tell it the file to use and it will take the LAST 512 bytes
of that file and write it to the specified floppy boot sector. Type PUTBS
to learn how to use it.

MOVEBS              This moves the current boot sector to a selected Track,
Head, and Sector on a floppy disk. It should be used in conjunction with PUTBS
to reconstruct boot sector viruses from boot image files. Type MOVEBS to
find out how to use it.
