From _AC's Guide to the Amiga, Winter Thaw '90_ (C) 1990 (p. 216):
	KickBench: instructions and programs for creating and using a combined
	KickStart and WorkBench disk, so only one disk is needed to reboot.
	Allows the system to reboot unattended after a power failure.  Requires
	disked from developer's disk.  Author: Alonzo Gariepy.  FF36

As an aside to any & all looking for hardware and/or software:  _AC's Guide
to the Amiga_ is an indispensible reference.  Contains listings of thousands
of hardware and software items, and is updated every 6 months or so.  Go
down to your favorite magazine stand and buy one today!

Another good reference is Aquarium, a program found on FF301.  Allows you
to quickly scan through a cataloged description of the Fred Fish collection,
searching for keywords, or text in the name/description.  Updated data files
are periodically posted to new xanth (why *is* it called that?).
