- 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
- ==================
- Add44k Assign
- Avail Blitzfonts
- * CD Copy
- Date Delete
- 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.
