In the c: directory, the "cpu" command allows you to do just that.

Contact CATS if you are a resident of Canada or the US, or your country's
technical support manager if you are residing in Europe.

I have not seen one yet, but I do have a guru program written in C which
displays simulated guru's on demand. It is particularly amusing to install
cron and this guru generated on a colleague's machine, and see it pop up
at predetermined times.  :-)

>4)  If I get an old kickdisk (i.e. 1.2) will it work?

There is no way for you to install it.

Unix System V Release 4 will be available for the A3000 at the same time, it
comes out for the A2500/30. No ROM socket will be needed for it.
