2007 changes (c)eCo Software

This is experimental ALVM version, use it on your responsibility.

use lvm.msg and lvmh.msg, so installiton is pure unzip to some directory

Usage: lvm.exe, or lvm.exe /?

what is not work: 
* any bootmanager options can't be set
* most commandline parameters don't work
**  /REDISCOVERPRM      - work
**  /STARTLOG:logfile   - work
*** /STARTLOG+:logfile  - extra debug info

what is work:
* can work with disks after Windows XP installer
