Where --- who knows? I think I got it from RTSI
      --- before changes were made there.

I have it.
I'll look around for the lzh version.

BUtil:
Usage:  butil -(options) [<offset>] <pathlist>

Purpose: To update or report LSN0 boot
information.

Options: b = Links <pathlist> as boot file.
         i = Report boot information from LSN0
         of <pathlist>.
         o = Set cylinder <offset> in LSN0
         of <pathlist>.

Examples:  butil -b /dd/bootfiles/newboot
             Links BOOTFILES/newboot as the /DD
             device's boot file.
           butil -ib newboot
             Links newboot in the current data
             directory as the boot file, then
             reports the LSN0 boot information.
           butil -i /h0
             Reports the boot information from
             LSN0 of the /H0 device.
           butil -o 1 /h00
             Sets the cylinder offset to
             (decimal) 1 in LSN0 of the /H00
             hard drive boot partition.

That's what it reports to "butil -?".
