- [/REBOOT], [/X], and [/S] will enable [/P] function automatically.
- If [/B] present alone, there is only the Boot Block area to be updated.
- If [/N] present alone, there is only the NVRAM area to be updated.
- If [/E] present alone, there is only the Embedded Controller block to be updated.

TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
Q1: AFUDOS cause DOS fail when it run in AUTOEXEC.BAT without any parameter.

A1: The issue seems caused by DOS version. AFU Currect version all change to 32bit compiler (Watcom C++).
    Windows 98 DOS can not support this version. You need chang your DOS Version.
