2. IMPORTANT
============
All the donations (for sources or simply for present) will be devolved to
A.I.R.C. (Italian Association for Cancer Research).


3. Hardware
===========
KICKMAKER runs ONLY under Kickstart 2.04 or greater. It needs 512kB, the stack
should be about 4000 bytes. You MUST have a DEVS:KICKSTART >=2.04 file.


4. How it Works
===============
The purpose of KICKMAKER is the update of the A3000 Kickstart 2.03 Disk.
This disk can be found in all the A3000 without ROM. These machines load
kickstart from a file named KICKSTART, which is placed in WB_2.x:DEVS/.
Optionally, with these machine you can load kickstart from a diskette, but
the version of this kick is very old.
KICKMAKER search into DEVS: for a file named KICKSTART. If found it, KICKMAKER
provides to update your A3000 KICKSTART 2.03 DISK with the new KICKSTART
file.
KICKMAKER works only from CLI.


5. Usage of KICKMAKER
=====================
First, make a copy of your KickStart disk (XCopy works very well). Then,
put this copied disk into DF0: ;
Make sure that in DEVS: there is the kickstart file;
There are no TOOL-TYPES, simple type KICKMAKER from CLI;
