A really nice little program - bearing in mind the complexity of the boot file for Black Phoenix and QL/e this is very useful.

It would be nice to see some documentation so that people could apply it to other programs / complicated boot sequences.

Thanks so much!

You should have time to write it and then translate it into English. :-)
I'm sure I will do it but for now my priority is programming, also because this is definitely a first release and will be subject to heavy changes in the coming months.

The program's operating logic is as follows:
the program you see in the screenshot acts on a large _dbs file.
The blackphoenix_bas program reads the file at the start of the QL and applies its settings.

Being written in basic the program can be viewed and even the _dbs file is not encrypted, so everyone can freely study it.
If you have any questions then I will be happy to answer.

Ah - I wondered if you might use REMark statements in the loader itself to identify sections which could be loaded / omitted

A dbas approach sounds good though :)
