  Jeeze! That was 8 years ago. I have trouble remembering yesterday. I
thought we just used it...

... [later]

  VDISK!! VDISK.SYS in DOS3.2 before it was changed to RAMDRIVE.SYS in 
DOS3.3. Maybe that was the secret. I'm pretty sure we just ran a 
ramdrive with no extra memory managers. 

  I noticed that Brenton mentioned The Last Byte. I've uploaded it to 
TML... LASTBYTE.ZIP (520K).If nothing else, the readme files make a
fair turorial. 

Regards,
Bob
