I know I could get the answer to the following if I studied the
right manuals, but I'm hoping for a simple answer....

Question:  If I'm using DOS 3.3 and my machine has 1 mb RAM, and 
all I want to do is to be able to use the RAM above 640k as a 
ramdisk, what's the way to do it? (I have no problems creating a
ramdisk within the 640k range.)

If there's no way using DOS 3.3, what's next best?
