Short: Copy KICKSTART-ROM to a file V1.6
Author: stoecker@rcs1.urz.tu-dresden.de (Dirk Stöcker)

Type: util/misc
There are many legitimate reasons for wishing to make a file copy of a ROM
image. I don't condone using this program for any illegal uses however. You
should be aware of the laws in your region with regard to fair use of
software, including software contained in ROMS.
GrabKick can be started from WorkBench or from Shell. It will generate a
SKick-like Kickstart-file named kick..... in the actual drawer.
The points contain the version and revision number. With OS V37 the file
is named kick37175 or like this. (This works only if version is less than
100 and revision less than 1000, but I think it's a long time from now 40
to 100)
If you need an other file-name: rename the file after producing.
Why this GrabKick?
- it's short (only 300 bytes -> Assembler)
- it works!
- it only produces complete files
- It's better than the old GrabKick V1.1 in this Directory (made by Ralf
Gruner) - around 50 times faster and 40 times shorter
