Short: Copy KICKSTART-ROM to a file V1.7
Author: stoecker@rcs1.urz.tu-dresden.de (Dirk Stoecker)
Uploader: stoecker@rcs1.urz.tu-dresden.de (Dirk Stoecker)
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 enter in CLI something as argument, this will be taken as a filename
instead of the internal name.
Why use GrabKick and no other ROM grabber?
- it's short (only 332 bytes -> Assembler)
- it works on all OS-Version from V33 on!
- it only produces complete files (deletion of partial file at to less
disk-space)
- startable from CLI and WB!
- calculates size of ROM (works with 256K, 512K, ...)
- It's better than all (most ?) other equal utils.
