    NZBLITZ is  an  NZCOM utility that  permits saving  and direct loading  of 
system images.   It simply replaces everything from CCP up to  CBIOS  with the 
new system, writes NZCOM.CCP to  disk (to A0: by default),  then boots the new
system.   The ENTIRE user environment is replaced (including shells,  RCP, FCP
IOP, TCAPS, DOS, CCP, and ZDOS clock/stamp drivers).   This allows a fast cold 
load of a system - full up with desired drivers, shells, path, and options.

   Aside from speed in loading  a fully configured system, NZBLITZ can be very 
useful for saving space on floppy systems.   Because NZCOM is  not needed (nor 
NZCOM.LBR) once the COM file is created, there can be  a savings in disk space 
if you typically use one standard system.

    Syntax   NZBLITZ [DIR:]IMAGE[.COM]


   NZBLITZ responds to the  usual ZCPR help request,  as well as '?' or a null 
command tail.   If the filetype is blank,  NZBLITZ will  assume .COM.   If you 
want to  run a series of commands  after the system image loads,  simply enter 
the  desired commands after  the NZBLITZ invocation.   NZBLITZ will save these 
commands and flush  the multiple command  line  after saving the system.

   The write of NZCOM.CCP may be suppressed  by a /f on the command line.   If 
this option is  used, care  should  be  taken that NZCOM.CCP runs  at the same 
address as the system being loaded.   Otherwise, the  system  will crash - and 
quickly!

 NZBLITZ Notes 

   a. The file created  by NZBLITZ is  a stand-alone COM file,  complete  with 
      loader.   This COM file  also  responds to  ZCPR style help.   Though it 
      contains a ZCPR  header,  it doesn't require a Z-system in order to run.  
      This is no accident,  as the primary purpose for the NZBLITZ is  to cold 
      start NZCOM systems.

   b. For speed, the loader uses  a function 37 reset,  then exits directly to 
      the CCP (which issues a function 13 reset right away).

   c. Note that system  changes  using  NZBLITZ  can't  be done  as part  of a 
      script!  For that matter, neither can system saves.

   d. Version 0.6 now correctly re-logs  user areas  greater than 15 on system
      changes.
