I am afraid that in my effort to shed light, I may have spread confustion.
I am sorry.
Fact: My ZOO did not bomb in the ramdisk created by something called ETRNL2.
However, Moshe Braner informs me that, yes, he posted an early warm-boot-
surviving ramdisk, but ETRNL2 is something that came along later.
I still suspect Ralph's ramdisk.
The ramdisk program that I use, I have also stored in an ARC file which has
these characteristics:
Name Length Stowage SF Size now Date Time CRC
============ ======== ======== ==== ======== ========= ====== ====
ETRNL2.PRG 1024 Crunched 24% 784 27 Oct 88 2:15p c37e
==== ======== ==== ========
Total 1 1024 24% 784
The date here does not have to proves only that it has been around since
last October, not that it was written then.
