I pulled this post to "prove" that I am not just blowing smoke. Zkick is not included in the A3000 distribution of AmigaDOS 2.0, guess that is public knowledge :-) >version >nil: graphics.library 36 >if warn >... >else > setamiga system-2.0 >setamiga is a nifty little program that loads the preferences from >any configuration file.

I have seen a program called ZKick on several pd bbs's. Might not be the same one you are thinking of, but the name is what counts in a post. Chris

Given the years that have elapsed since Commodore first released the early alpha versions of 1.4 it seems almost inevitable that some of it is going to leak into public availability (whether or not it's legal). Since 2.0 has been around now for about a year with no signs of CBM releasing it to the non-3000 community (making the 2.0 code VERY publicly available, again if not legally) any surprise about it's appearance where it shouldn't is almost breathtakingly naive. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <> Brian Syme <> Why make things difficult, when with just a <> <> bsyme@cs.strath.ac.uk <> little more effort you could make them <> <> <> impossible. <> <><><><><> *WARNING* Signature dying of old age... ><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

The question was not whether Zkick itself (I know I highlighted it) is covered by non-disclosure as I am sure most of you know. It was a demonstration that the discussions were going on about non-released software. After all, why would you need zkick if you were not a developer??? Anyway, I think I have beat the horse to death. I believe my point has been made. Time to go back to our regular discussion about 'scheduling', and 'symetrical multiprocessing' :-) ;-) -mark= +--------+ ================================================== | \/ | Mark D.

Sure it has. ZKick is a public domain program written by Daniel Zenchelsky, and has nothing to do with the non-disclosure agreement being discussed here. It was written as a replacement for CBM's Kickit program, which was troublesome for some configurations. >I pulled this post to "prove" that I am not just blowing smoke. > >Zkick is not included in the A3000 distribution of AmigaDOS 2.0, >guess that is public knowledge :-) Correct. But then again, as per the previous point this is moot. I fully agree with points made that the non-disclosure agreement should be respected, but be sure you are using the proper examples. ZKick can be had by anyone...the problems come when they get a hold of beta AmigaOS 2.0x versions to use with it while not being developers. > +--------+ ================================================== > | \/ | Mark D.

They were told to get the rom image off the disk. Naturally now zkick + wb 2.0 is public for 2000 owners here in Townsville. Everyone with a machine that can handle it has it. It isn't always the developers fault :-) > -mark= > > +--------+ ================================================== > | \/ | Mark D.
