#QUESTION

Can you inform me whether the "makeboth" PD combo Kick&Bench disk prgm works
as one might assume without complications, or possibly FF "KickBench" (requires
developer 'disked'?); Or is the KickWork from Amigo Business the only way?

Izo I have been using Kickbench. It has performed much to my satisfaction.
With the latest version of kickbench you just: (1) make a copy of Kick Start.
(2) run Kickbench (3) copy necessary Workbench files to the disk. (4) copy the
Kick program to your C directory.
You then have a Kickbench disk. Every time you are ready to turn off your
computer run the "Kick" program to make the disk into a Kickstart disk. There
are several other options in the Docs.
I have ordered Kickworks, so as to not have to re arm the Kickbench disk every
time as Kickworks is supposed to allow you to do. I will let you know if
Kickworks does it's job soon as I recieve it.

I use KickBench as well. It doesn't require Disked. I "rearm" my KickBench disk
(i.e. turn it back into KickStart) in my startup-sequence. Even after you
"rearm" it you can still treat it as a DOS disk provided you avoid certain
commands and don't take it out of the drive and put it back in. It works quite
well for me.
KickBench works, but there is a catch: you have to "re-arm" the disk as a KICK
disk before rebooting. Not a problem or impossible, depending on how you use
your system.
In addition to KickWork, might I also suggest KwikStart, a little board from
Michigan Software which, I believe, has a few advantages of its own.
