Allow to put in a plug for SRDISK, a truly wonderful ram disk program
written by Marko Kohtala.  Available at all your better archive sites.

The current version provides, among other things, a neat solution to the
recurring problem of DISKCOPYing between diskettes of different formats.

Highly recommended.

(Oh, did I mention that it support RAM disks of up 128M?)

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.
