Short: Boot with 1.3 Kickstart on newer machines

What is Kick1.3?

        Well it allows all those people with 2.x and 3.x of
AmigaDOS to get back some compatibility with older programs.
AmigaDOS 1.3 is arguably the most compatible of the various
incarnations out there, and many games that fail on the AGA
machines can be brought back to life with this program.

        If you have 1.x of AmigaDOS you won't need this
program.

        To use Kick1.3, you must convert this program back
into binary. First UUDECODE this file, then use DMS's WRITE
option to place the program onto a blank disk.

        Reset your machine, place the disk in df0: The disk
will run and the Kickstart files copied into RAM.

        When the message

All Operations Okay - Kicking Up

appears, the screen will flash grey as the machine reboots,
remove the disk from the drive. (DO NOT KEEP THE DISK IN THE
DRIVE, THE PROGRAM *WILL NOT* WORK!!!).

        If the program has run successfully, you will get the
KickStart 1.3 prompt. This program does *NOT* emulate the
Workbench, if you have a program that boots from Workbench,
you will need a copy of Workbench 1.3 (which IS the copyright
Commodore).
