The 1.3 Enhancer Software guide has a special section on how to modify
one's system-startup file.  I thought this was rather nice of them.
Page 5-9 covers the condition "Small recoverable ramdrive for a 1 MB
Amiga".  Since Commodore was spelling out what it thought I should do, I
decided to adhere to it just for the fun of it.  However, the instructions
result in a s-s file that copies executables into RAD:c *before* the time
is set via setclock!  Seems to me that this would lead to a whole bushel
of files in RAD: that have the wrong time, possibly even the wrong date.
I haven't tried it yet, but I think I would rather move the setclock line
up a bit so that it's in front of all that copying.  I believe that other
procedures in that same section suffer from the identical problem.

Agreement?  Disagreement?  Is Commodore awake?  I'm not.  It's bedtime.
