I've just started trying to use the stiram print spooler and ramdisk accessory that was posted recently. I thought it was going to be the answer to a lot of my problems but I'm having trouble with it, even when it is the only accessory installed. When the default size printer buffer is installed, the printer just prints garbage--I would guess less than one character in ten from the file is printed. I don't really mind about that though, the real problem is that when I remove the 300K ramdisk it hardly ever gives me all the memory back--often just a few hundred miserable bytes or nothing at all. My initial problem was that I could either have a ram disk or free memory but couldn't change easily from one state to the other. With this accessory I frequently end up with neither! Has anyone else had these problems? -- Leila Burrell-Davis, Computing Service, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK Tel: +44 273 678390 JANET: leilabd@uk.ac.sussex.cvaxa ARPA: leilabd%cvaxa.sussex.ac.uk@cunyvm.cuny.edu BITNET: leilabd@cvaxa.sussex.ac.uk UUCP: leilabd@cvaxa.uucp
