				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.

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.
