MG>it just type xmsdsk /? at the command prompt, a google search should turn it
MG>fairly easy... sometimes it's zippped up in a file called something like
MG>furd_19.zip or similar, which as some txt files and another ramdisk...

I use it now on my DOS machines, including the one that runs the BBS.  It
uses less RAM than the RAMDRIVE that came with MS-DOS 6.22.  I've never
