Use the ramdrive.sys program from MS-DOS 5 or Windows 3.1. Actually, they're the same program. (The MS-DOS 5 manual says it's limited to 4M because that's what the limit was when we sent the manual text to the printer...can you say, "last-minute change"?) Limit is 32M, using either XMS or EMS ram. If you've a copy of Vdisk.sys from IBM DOS or Compaq MS-DOS, it'll likely go up to 16M. -jen not speaking for microsoft, in fact, they don't know i'm posting.
