- Short: Fixes problem with jumping bootpics

- If you have a boot piccy installed on your hard disc you know the
- problem: When IPrefs starts up, the screen jumps a bit up and to the left,
- depending on your overscan settings. Most people say there's no clean
- workaround ...
-
- No problem, as Kick >=2.0 still uses the file DEVS:system-configuration,
- that contains overscan information (even when Kick <=1.3 couldn't use it).
- This file is parsed as soon as the Amiga boots and the settings are active
- before the boot pic is loaded.
-
- FixPrefs 1.1 solves the quirk problem by writing the 2.0 settings to this
- 1.3 system-configuration - with a 304 bytes executable! Amiga makes it
- possible.
