HOW TO COMPILE Smart BootManager:
---------------------------------

I. What softwares are needed to compile SmartBtmgr?

 For Linux user, you need gcc, make and nasm. For DOS user, you 
 must have DJGPP (a DOS porting of GCC), and nasm.
 You must also have UCL library(http://wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at/mfx/ucl.html) 
 to compile Smart BootManager.

II. How to compile?

 Edit the Makefile, change the line that including 'TARGET=xxx'.
 If you are using Linux, change the line to TARGET=linux, if you
 are using DOS, change it to TARGET=dos.

 Then just type make to compile it.

 the executable file is placed in release directory.

 type make install to install it. For linux, the default binary 
 dir is /usr/sbin/, the default documentation dir is /usr/doc/btmgr, 
 and the default theme dir is /usr/share/btmgr , if you want to change it, 
 edit Makefile.

III. How to use it?

 See README file for details.

IV. How to customize and install the theme file.

  You can start your own theme file from one of the two standard theme 
  files provided by this program. These are placed in manager/themes/
  dir.

  In order to change it, please refer to the comments in the theme file.

  You must have NASM (Netwide ASM) to compile the theme file.
  The compile method is very simple, for example, assume the new 
  theme file is mytheme.asm, the following command will generate a
  binary version of mytheme.asm:

    nasm -fbin -o mytheme.bin mytheme.asm

  Now you can use installation program to install Smart BootManager 
  with the new theme:

  for linux:
  sbminst -t mytheme.bin -d /dev/hda

  or for dos:
  sbminst -t mytheme.bin -d 128
