	To allow developers to use AmigaDOS 2.0 on existing 1000, 500 and
2000 setups, I believe a program called 'KickIt' was given to developers so
they could load in 2.0 Kickstart (and hence efficiently use the WorkBench
2.0 disk). I believe it copies itself into fast ram, and then appears like it
is in ROM.

	My question is - do anybody know if this utility will come out to the
general public? I'd like to use 2.0 Workbench and Kickstart, but I DON'T want
to replace a stable 1.3 Kickstart Rom with a possibly unstable 2.0 Rom (at
least until it is stable). Anybody from C= care to comment?
