				README for CMOSTOOL v1.0

What you should get in this package:

cmostool.linux.cc     source code
cmos.info             A pretty good explanition of CMOS memory
Makefile
README

What it does:

CMOSTOOL is a utility for the PC CMOS memory. It allows you to save the 
current CMOS values to a file, load values from a file into CMOS, hex 
dump the CMOS to screen, delete all values in CMOS(this will also remove 
any CMOS passwords), and modify any value in the CMOS.

CMOS's it works on:

CMOSTOOL "should" work on all PC CMOS's(64, 128, and 2048 
byte CMOS's), however I have onle been able to test it on a few. I 
haven't been able to find any 128 or 2048 byte CMOS computers, so I don't 
know for sure if support for them works, although it should.

To install:

make
make install

NOTE: DO NOT remove the -O cflag. outb() is an inline assembler macro that
needs the -O flag to work.

also, you must be logged in as root to use cmostool.
