  It should still be okay, the way Roy does it. He changes the
directory first, so it should look in that directory and find the EXE
before the BAT.

  Yair... that's a good idea. The ramdrive is a real nuisance when you
change the hard drive or add a CD, and the letter changes! Do you put
the SET RAM= before the ramdriver is loaded, or can it go anywhere?
