News of BIOS Utilities & Flash Programs

I have a question - how does the phlash on crisis recovery disk work?

Does the bios.wph have to be a wph file? Does it have to have a wph structure? If i rename readme.txt (or a bios file of a different format) to bios.wph would it be blindly loaded to flash?

Is there a tutorial how to use Phlash16 to mod my bios?

Hi, first time here, and I've never flashed a BIOS before.
