	As you know, 1.3 KickStart is functionally identical to 1.2
KickStart, with the exception of the autoboot code.  1.3 is primarily a
WorkBench distribution, so it's as simple as copying a disk, or buying the
enhancer package.

	DPaint ][ required 1.2 to function, and was released about the same
time 1.2 came out.  This didn't stop users from buying DPaint ][ and
upgrading to 1.2.

	Enlighten me:  How does Apple upgrade its Mac OS?
