Does GRUB for DOS already include the BOOTGRUB and GRLDR files [they are called "GRUB for NTLDR"]?

Are bootgrub and grldr required to coexist, or is only one sufficient?

bootgrub is not heard of, is it grub.exe? GRLDR
grub for do contains GRUB.exe and GRLDR files
Only one of them is enough, GRLDR is GRUB for NTLDR

GRLDR is GRUB for NTLDR, is it something that needs to be downloaded separately and not included in grub4dos?

Is grub4dos the same as grub for dos?

In very old versions, the bootgrub file was once released. In the new version, this file is not needed, and instead, the grldr and grldr.mbr files are used.

Should it be used like this: c:\grldr.mbr=****** instead of c:\grldr=*********

Both are okay

The first usage c:\grldr.mbr, grldr and MENU.LST can be placed in the root directory of any partition,

The second c:\grldr can only be placed in the root directory of drive C


grldr.mbr only takes care of finding grldr, and grldr is the entity

I am the initiator of the grub4dos project. But now it is taken care of by bean. I'm not in good health and have withdrawn. However, I still care about grub4dos. I hope everyone can help bean and lighten his burden a bit.
