ReKickReset 40.2
			Copyright © 1997 by Mark Knibbs

Freely distributable provided no changes are made and no charge above
reasonable distribution costs is levied. This program may be included on Aminet
CDs.

ReKickReset is a tool for users of ReKick.

Purpose:	Enable the user to reset a ReKicked machine as transparently as
		possible directly back into the RAM Kickstart.

Features:	· Patches exec.library/ColdReboot() to call the new reset
		  routine.
		· Installs a keyboard.device reset handler, to enable Ctrl-
		  Amiga-Amiga keyboard resets to work properly.
		· Automatically handles variable start-of-chip-memory addresses.
		  The default is $400, but users of ShapeShifter will be using
		  a higher value, probably $2000 or $3000.
		· Patches the RAM Kickstart to allow rebooting into it from a
		  software failure. This patch is removed just before the reset
		  takes place.

Usage:		Copy ReKickReset to C:. Add it to your startup-sequence as early
		as possible (but after ReKick itself, obviously).

Caveats:	· If your Amiga has a low quality keyboard, the reset handler
		  feature may not be available. My Amiga 2000 keyboard does
		  support this feature.
		· If the RAM-based Kickstart has become corrupted, your Amiga
		  will most likely crash at reset. Just press Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga
		  to go back to the ROM Kickstart in this case.
		· The keyboard reset handler is installed with priority -32, the
		  lowest allowed. This is so that all other reset handlers get
		  called before the reset occurs. If the higher priority reset
		  handlers take longer than 10 seconds, the computer will reset
		  anyway, back to the ROM Kickstart.
		· It is not possible in this version to use reset-surviving
		  ROMTags, to preserve the alert-timing value in ExecBase or to
		  enable use of the Boot Menu.

Bugs:		· Does not currently check whether the reset handler has already
		  been installed if you run it more than once. This should be
		  harmless, and won't be a problem if used in the suggested
		  manner.
		· I have not tested this program with 68040 or 68060 processors.
		  Please let me know if there are any problems, especially with
		  resetting into the RAM Kickstart after a software failure.

History:	40.1 (22.8.96)	First public release.
		40.2 (27.4.97)	Second public release. Now patches the RAM
				Kickstart to allow rebooting into it from a
				software failure. The patch is removed just
				before reset.

Support:	This version does pretty much all that I require. However, if
		you have any suggestions, comments or bug reports, I'd like to
		hear them. You can contact me by post or electronic mail.
