Hey... sounds like that might be it!  I remember trying a couple of similar
products before I settled on one.   But the author's name sounds
unfamiliar.  Anyway.... it was really handy even if i just needed 250k
ramdrive on the 286.   When I moved to a 386 machine, and 4 meg ram, a
larger ramdrive was great when viewing .ZIP contents and storing temporary
files during the day.  

I'm rather disappointed that modern WinMe and XP don't feature ramdrive
capability.  I already have /tmp and /tmp/000 folders where I unpack zips
and look at certain downloads - but I don't necessarily need to keep all
the stuff in there - I just don't always remember to clean up those
directories even if I think I'll keep a few things for a week or 2 longer.
