HYPER DISK (HYPERDSK) -- shareware disk cache with incredible features and performance. It works just like the SMARTDRV.SYS, in that it can give memory back to WINDOWS3, AS WELL AS DESQVIEW! However, for other programs this is not truly automatic (yet). 2. The brand new Super PC-Kwik disk cache. This is an excellent commercial product, and consistantly is chosen as the BEST cache by nearly anyone who does product reviews. It is pretty quick, and the NEW version (just being released NOW) has the feature you want: When it starts up, it allocates ALL memory for itself, and then dishes it back out anytime *any* application wants to "borrow" some for a while (or permanently). Compatible with QEMM, 386MAX, WINDOWS, and DESQVIEW.. and lots of other applications that use EMS (XMS also?? I dunno.. haven't got it yet). -- ___Mark S.
