 You're doing great work, and I hope this modification is merged into
the CVS soon.

A couple of points:

Would it be helpful to include the installation instructions in the zip
file as a Readme?

Also, I'm not sure I understand why the ajbrec.ajz file has to be kept.
If you are running ROMbox already and you wish to update to a newer
version, surely you need to install and rolo to the new version first
prior to flashing. This is normal flashing procedure. Or is the
ajbrec.ajz file used by ROMbox in some way?

Regards
Tom Cole
