[Coco] New version of SDC-DOS available

[L. Curtis Boyle]

Wes’s KWIKGEN does both the boot track (with <K>ernal key) and OS9Boot properly. And is *way* faster than EZGEN (it does everything in RAM - and can even load your kernal and OS9Boot from the copies you have in memory running at the time).
Once he supplied that to Bill and me, we never went back to Ezgen for the entire development of NitrOS-9.

I'm not sure if it suffers the same problems as cobbler or os9gen, but it is a possible replacement for cobbler when used in conjunction with 'kwikgen'.
