The diagnostic messages are fine for what the program was written for --
as a utility for the author. Redistributing it was my idea, not his; I
thought other people might find it useful, as it is so amazingly simple,
and works so well. Oh well, no more.

If you want more than one RAMDISK then put more than one line (one for
each disk) in CONFIG.SYS. They will get consecutive letters. Sometime
you might need to bump the LASTDRIVE specification; I am not certain
about that one. If you want to play with multiple RAMdisks, beware
especially about not making holes in DOSs memory map (allocate and free
your chunks of memory in strictly stack order) as warned in SETRAM.DOC;
we haven't actually seen any problems from such segmenting of RAM, but
that does exercise a part of DOS which isn't normally exercised, and so
can be assumed to have fatal bugs.
