Hope everyone had a fun and scary Halloween!

I've basically finished the Multi-Boot Rebooter, I think. I'll just call it MBR for short. And no, I didn't intentionally steal that acronym, for those of you who know what I'm talking about. ;) Anyway, I added some safeguards to the program to hopefully not screw up the boot.ini file if something goes wrong. And had to add the check for it to exit if it couldn't actually find the file. I tried to lower the amount of memory it takes (currently about 1.5 megs), but everything I tried ended up the same. It doesn't need all that memory for what little it does, but that's what happens when you compile with MSVC++. It's a handy little app though none the less, I use it, so maybe someone else will find it useful as well. I'll put a page up for it sometime.

You'd think Microsoft would have made an edit control to allow you to change the background text color for individual characters. I thought about making my own IRC client for fun, but I think most of the effort would be involved in making my own control just to display the output. I've messed with the IRC protocol for a while now, so doing that part of it would be fairly easy. I wonder how easy it'd be to use an HTML control instead to display the output...
