	Something that I'd like to see for the Amiga (rather simple
actually), is a bootblock that will allow you to choose different
system-configuration files on booting.  I know I run my Amiga in three
different modes depending on what I'm doing (LACE OVERSCAN, NOLACE
OVERSCAN, and NOLACE NO OVERSCAN) and would like to be able to switch
without changing boot disks.  Maybe this bootblock could also set some
ENV: variables or something so other programs (ie. Qmouse etc...) may
adjust to the new screen sizes or colours or whatever as well.

	Does this program exist?  I didn't think it did.  Treat this as
kind of a suggestion for a one-evening project.  I'm not at all versed in
Assembler or writing boot blocks so I can't vouch for the feasibility of
this project.
