                                KICK-RAM V1.1			     (4/10/92)

         THIS PROGRAM IS PUBLIC DOMAIN AND MAY BE FREELY DISTRIBUTED
         SO LONG AS THIS DOCUMENTAION FILE IS PRESENT AND UNCHANGED.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is it?
===========
Kick-Ram is a utility to take the chore out of setting up scripts, copying
commands into memory, etc.  When you want to use the  C:  Commands many of
you will have been frustrated by having to insert WorkBench etc, etc.

No more!

Kick-Ram contains the most used CLI commands in one file.  On running
the program, 20 useful CLI commands are dumped into RAM:.
18 are placed into RAM: if you have a Kickstart 2.xx machine as two of
the commands are already resident.



Requirements
============
Any Amiga computer will do for this, from 1.2 to 2.xx machines.
If you are running this on a non Kickstart 2 machine, you will need the
Ram-Handler file in the L: directory.




Usage
=====
Simply load Kick-Ram from the CLI by typing at the prompt.

                          1> Kick-Ram

At only 30k you can squeeze it onto WorkBench.  Once the commands have
been placed into RAM:, the program only takes about 40k of memory!




Commands installed

  Dir				   Execute                          
  Info 				   Install                          
  List				   Makedir                          
  Protect			   Relabel                          
  Rename			 * Run
  Setmap			   Type                             

NOTE: * means not on 2.xx machines




Using the Commands
==================
No problems here.  Use them as if they were normal CLI commands off the
Workbench disk.  Because the files are not resident, you can also delete them
if you want to save memory.  Initially, you must access the commands by using
a prefix path of RAM:

	eg.	Ram:dir mydisk:

This can easily be solved if you have the PATH command on the disk.  Just
type or add to your startup-sequence,

		path ram: add

Now you can just type,

		dir mydisk:
	OR	list mydisk:

And DOS will automatically look at RAM: for the command.




About
=====
This program was written because beginners can have a real hard time trying
to use the Shell.  Also an old program called Quick-Ram by Metallion.  The
commands it had were ancient by now, so I needed a new version that worked
on Kickstart 2.  Also because Commodore left out the most useful commands!
Kick-Ram was coded in assembly by Wai Hung "Khul" Liu.

Program History

v1.1 (10.4.92) - This update only took a few minutes.  Added in a routine to
check for Kickstart 2.xx, which then does not write out 2 commands because
they are already resident (wow!).  These are CD and RUN.

v1.0 (3.9.92) - First release version.  No bugs reported.
