I guess I will be stuck with that after all.  It's a great shame having to
do that, but I guess I can stick borland c++ in there as well.  What about
making the programs resident, is that possible?  I really would prefer to
see unused stuff paged out to disk.  Come to think of it, will my 6 meg ram
drive get paged onto disk?  If so, I can make it 200 meg instead.  How do I
set up a ram drive anyway (while you're here)?  BFN.
