Long description:
CMOSSave CMOSRest CMOSChk 2.4 restore damaged CMOS from
backup and check that CMOS has not been tampered with.
Featured in Karen Kenworthy's Windows Magazine column
October 1994 and April 1995.

Naive users sometimes meddle with CMOS settings. We need
a fast way to put the scores of subtle CMOS configuration
settings back the way they were.

Power surges can corrupt CMOS. We need a way for a naive
user to quickly restore all the CMOS settings.

If the battery fails, the contents will be lost. We need
a way to restore a known working CMOS configuration.

CMOSRest restores ALL of CMOS, including the proprietary
extended COMS settings like wait states, clock speeds,
shadow RAM etc.

CMOSRest can also be used to toggle between two CMOS
configurations, for example with and without a removable
hard drive installed.

CMOSChk can detect subtle corruption to CMOS, as might be
caused by a rogue program or a virus, something that might
slow your machine or make it unreliable.

Version 2.4 has simplified installation instructions. It
works more smoothly on PCI systems that have additional
volatile CMOS bytes. It adds the /Q switch to suppress
unnecessary messages.

May be freely used and copied for any purpose except
military. MASM/OPTASM source provided to registrants.
