That would be my suggestion too. I once wrote a RAM disk called EDISK, a tiny, ultra-fast, reset-proof RAM disk utility. This RAM disk reserves the requested amount of memory, and executes a reset. When the system comes back up, the memory addresses are exactly the same as they would be in an ST equipped with that much less RAM. (I checked.) I suggest that you use this trick. -- Volker -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitnet: UNM409@DBNRHRZ1 Volker A.
