KICKRE.LZH/binary 29-Jul-90 4096 Title : Switch 3000 from 2.0 <> 1.32 without turning off! Keywords: WB2.0 3000 UTILITY MUST-HAVE A MUST have for 3000 owners! Lets you go from 2.0 to 1.32 and vice-versa without having to turn the machine off! Source included, this installs under the 2.0 Tools menu (neat) or can be used under the CLI. Thank me by writing some other great PD stuff the help with the 3000 and I will be very happy!

Do we have a problem here or am I just dumb? Don't answer that… I downloaded and installed per the packed instructions, kickre.lzh but can only switch from 1.3 to 2.0, not vice-versa. How about a detailed installation procedure please. I put both kickmenu and reboot in my 2.0 c: and also placed kickmenu in my 2.0 tools directory, is there a tools menu?. I added wait 3 and kickmenu to the startup-sequences of both 1.3 and 2.0 after the loadwb command. I was unable to copu the kickmenu file to the 1.3 c:, however, it just wouldn't let me… strange. At any rate I assume I am doing something, or several things, wrong. What are they?

Dan, Since I don't have a 3000 I could not test the file. Since the source code is included I felt I'd make it public anyway since the those who want to see what's going on can look at the source. Maybe it does only work from 1.3 to 2.0. You might leave a message to the uploader to see how it is supposed to work.

Hold down the two mouse buttons after running and you will get the menu.
