BUG REPORT!!
------------

	Version 6.3 has a bug when creating the AUTO folder. DO NOT use version
6.3. Version 6.4 does not create the AUTO folder. It now must be done out side
of the the Configuration Editor. You are now given a file selector box in order
to set the path that you desire.

	Version 6.4 has a minor bug which is NOT at all harmful. When setting
the directory path, the drive would be set but not the path.


HISTORY:
--------

	Kwik Disk was first released as a Desktop Accessory in August 1988. It
was intended to increase the access time for reading and writing to the floppy
drives. As it was continually updated, we added the ability to select the
seekrate for each drive separately, increased drive access speed and optimised
the accessory to be as fast as possible and use as little memory as possible.

	Next we came up with a Kwik Disk program that would run from the AUTO
folder. This would install Kwik Disk at boot-up and use as little memory as
possible. Later it was further optimised until it would use LESS THAN 600
BYTES!

	All this was great. We had increased our access speed to as much as
200% while using a minimal amount of memory. What else could we possibly do
to further improve this wonderful utility? Three things had not yet been done:

	1) A configuration program 
		(for the user to enter his/her own settings for boot-up time)

	2) Compatability with all present and future versions of TOS

	3) A version of Kwik Disk that would load from the bootsector
		of a floppy-disk and USE NO MEMORY AT ALL!

Every one of the above features were built in to the Kwik Disk Configuration
Editor (refered to as KDCE hereon).

	The KDCE created a custom version of the Kwik Disk Accessory, Auto
Program and/or Bootsector Program tailored by you and specifically for your
computer system.

NOTE:	With previous versions you had to create a version of Kwik Disk for
	each system you own, or a new version each time you updated your
	version of TOS. The KDCE is what sensed what version of TOS it was
	running under, NOT THE ACCESSORY OR PROGRAMS IT CREATED. This is no
	longer so in version 6.5.


CHANGES IN v6.5:
----------------

	Kwik Disk v6.5 no longer needs to be re-configured for each machine
or each new version of TOS. Each program senses what version of TOS it is
running under and not the KDCE as was in previous versions.

	Kwik Disk ACC no longer sets anything such as write verify, seekrate,
etc. It is now used as a front end to the AUTO program or the Bootsector
program. The Kwik Disk CPX, for Atari's Xcontrol Panel, works the same as the
ACC, and you are encouraged to use it instead.

	This version of Kwik Disk has been completely re-written. The code is
not fully optimized as of yet, but will be for registered users.


HARD DRIVE ACCESS SPED UP:
--------------------------

	Hard drive users will definately want Kwik Disk installed. Kwik Disk
now allows you to set the size of the FAT and DATA buffers. This acts something
like a cache, and it will speed up both floppy and hard drive access
dramatically.

NOTE:	The Bootsector program does NOT install the buffers.


INSTRUCTIONS:
-------------

	There is no need to worry where to put the KDCE. A file selector box
will now appear so that you may set the path of where to write the current file
being written.

	An AUTO folder will no longer be created for the Auto Program if it is
not present.

	When selecting the Bootsector Program you will be asked which floppy
drive it should be written to.

	Once inside the KDCE you will see the settings you can make and the
buttons to create the files. For additional help, select the 'Help' button
within the program.


SHAREWARE PLEA:
---------------
	Yes, here it is. The plea for your generous support. You now know that
Kwik Disk has altogether been a project for over 2 years. It may be small but
that was the intent and, its usefulness is quite big. More time was put into
this little utility than many of you may have thought. We feel that a request
of $10.00 is a reasonable justification for all the long hard work of creating
Kwik Disk. If you like it, and use it, please print and fill out the attached
form below (form not necessary but appreciated), and mail a check or money
order to:
