 Runit can be used in the startup-sequence as a cli command or used
 from the cli/shell as a tool to run game/utility boot blocks that
 refuse to work on 680x0 or newer machines such as A1200/4000
 
 Tested on kickstarts 1.2 to 4.x ,and should work on all future kicks

 Runit with no options will display a help screen explaining the
 options available, i will describe here in what circumstances
 they may need to be used.
 It does not matter what order you type them in.
 

 NOCACHE   - Use this option if diskloads fail, graphics corrupt
             or if programs crash for no reason

 SCRBLANK  - Have you ever noticed how using the boot options 
             screen sometimes cause`s screens to be corrupted?
             or when software that ran from workbench on kick 1.X
             has corrupted screens on kick 2.X / 3.X.
             This option opens a 1.X screen and blanks it until
             the software in question opens its own.

 FAKEFAST  - An enhanced version of FAKEMEM , this will give you
             512k chip / rest of chip ram: classed as fast ram: on
             1meg+ chip machines.
             Use this when "no fast mem" requesters appear , or when
             games just lock , due to no fast mem.
             Remember this resets the machine the first time it is run
             so any other options on the command line will be ignored
             first time , but will function correctly next time they
             are called.

 NTSCMODE -  Ever noticed that annoying gap at the bottom of some
             softwares screens , try this option! 
             ECS chipset or above needed.

 PALMODE  -  Returns you to normal screen mode    
             ECS chipset or above needed.

 OLDKICK  -  Because of certain changes in kick 2.X , 3.X , certain
             games failed when library returns were slightly
             different to those on kick 1.x , this routine patches
             these to return old 1.x values.
             Try these on games such as Silkworm IV , Saint Dragon ETC.            

 SET???   -  This needs some explaining , what it does is to select the 
             chipset you specify , if that chipset is available , or can be
             Mimic`d then the system / hardware is told to use that chipset.
             Currently AGA can mimic the OLD & ECS chipsets, use this option
             when GFX / Sound corrupt etc.

             SETOLD  = Select/Mimic OLD chipset
             SETECS  = Select/Mimic ECS chipset
             SETAGA  = Select/Mimic AGA chipset
             SETBEST = Use the best chipset available
                        
 CLEAR    -  Resets machine if Virus or other contamination present.

 FILTER   -  Turns off the low pass filter , this will make sounds
             clearer and sharper.

 HIGHBOOT -  Runit was originally written only as a cli command , but
 LOWBOOT     its options were also usefull for NONDOS disks ie: games.
             I found the boot options screen did not help all the time.
             These 2 options were added so that a disk in df0: can be
             booted with any of the options above.


 Remember that runit can be used in a startup-sequence or used to boot
 NON DOS disks , in this respect i think it is unique.


 An example.
 
 To get really pigheaded games to run from df0:
 
 RUNIT Nocache scrblank oldkick setold Highboot
 
 Or in the startup-sequence
 
 RUNIT Nocache scrblank oldkick setold
 
 

 RunIt is charity ware , if you use it , give help to those in need , 
 in whatever way you wish , whether it be putting money in collection tins
 , or clothes to charity shops , etc.
