Keywords: Alert(), bug, V1.2 Kickstart patch, $C00000 memory

Here is a program to patch a V1.2 Kickstart disk to fix the
Alert() bug.  Owners of A500 and A2000 machines will have to
wait until Commodore comes out with a ram based patch.

If it looks nearly identical to noKLICKstart, that is because
it is.

Note to Andy Finkel:  Did you get my resonse on keymaps?  Hoser has
mailer problems, and cbmvax does not give out responses to
"Return-Receipt-To:".  Leaves one with a sort of "black hole"
feeling.  Also where is the actual long word with the checksum?
This program picks a random spot in the C-A copyright notice
and zaps it.

(Trivia: The boot ROM checks the checksum only on soft re-boot,
*not* when the initial Kickstart disk is loaded)
