Re: how does "hpcboot.exe" work?

Thanks, I expected it to be a separate project, that is, outside the
official sources.
However there is no documentation, or rather the "sources" are the
documentation.

The README only explains how to use it, I'm trying to understand how
it works internally.

I am a bit shocked that "Windows-CE-v1" has no memory protection.
It seems a bit like the same trick that was used with "bootX" on
old-world PowerMacs (like e.g. wallstreet laptops), to load and start
the linux kernel through macOS-v9.
