The following fields in all files copied from subdirectories here
will be replaced within copy at distribution build time via
the rewrite tool.  This is to allow these to be templates and all
references updated upon a new release.

%VERSION% will be replaced with 'Beta 10' etc in all files,
eg.  "This is the FreeDOS %VERSION% distribution."  will result
in   "This is the FreeDOS Beta 10 distribution." in resulting file.


%CDTITLE% must be replaced by a string of text exactly 40 characters
e.g. | %CDTITLE% | using "  FreeDOS Beta 9 Service Release 1 CD   "
results in |   FreeDOS Beta 9 Service Release 1 CD    |

%CDVOLID% is replaced with the CD's volume label, eg. 'FDOS_BETA9'


The following files are generated* during the build process:
\boot.catalog                    (usually hidden, created in ISO by mkisofs)
\isolinux\isolinux.bin           (*isolinux binary, see source\TOOLS\isolinux)
\isolinux\buildcd\command.com    (known usable cmd interpreter, source\BASE\)
\isolinux\buildcd\mkisofs.exe    (creates ISO image, source\UTILS\cdrecord)
\isolinux\data\fdboot.img        (a 360KB boot diskette image, generated)
\isolinux\data\memdisk           (*CD boot floppy image support, see isolinux)

* Full source is provided and can be built, but normally isolinux.bin and
memdisk use the precompiled versions as requested by their author.
