That is a good thing indeed. However, if you had such software for linux
and saved your MBR to floppy, you would have to start linux to restore
your MBR. I know there are single-floppy linux's out there, as well as
bootable CD's (SuSE for example) that can let you do this.

I'm just saying even after all that, you get back to the same place you
are now with Ranish and (for example) FreeDOS.

Take care,
