Hello, all!
This is my first entry (in writing) to the geoworks chat, although I have 
been a very happy user of Ensemble since beginning computing (with the able 
assistance of geoworks software -first 'Pro, then 2.0) about 2 years ago. I'm 
wondering about the possibility of using a ram disk for the swap file, which 
would naturally be swifter than having gw write to the hard drive. But is it 
possible, and how large does it need to be? (I have 6 Mb Ram). I'm not 
dissatisfied with my current geoworks' speed: it's fine. But if it can be 
even more snappy, then even better!
Also, someone told me DR dos 6.0 'is full of bugs'. I've been using it 
because the taskswitcher, taskmax, is catered for in Ensemble. I've not had 
any problems with DR dos, but the fellow's comment intrigued me.
I have a vague recollection that there was something on the ramdisk in a 
GEIGA newsletter, but don't know if that's the case, or if I'm dreaming. 
ok, bye for now.
