	Lots of edit

	You might want to try and scare up a copy of Smart Dos. It used to be 
packaged with the Rana Drives. There were a coupla versions, 6.1D, 8.1D. A few
others also.

	Anyway, with the DOS they supplied a program to set up a special 
autorun file that will run a basic program. Really works slick. I'm not sure 
if it will (the auto made program) work with DOS 2.0 or 2.5, but it would 
seem reasonable that it would. Just have to rename the filename.AR1 to 
reflect the Atari Autorun syntax.

	If someone can let me know if this program is able to be passed
along, I would be more than happy to post it.
