The following is found in the FAQ for this group.

     II.   The Question of the Year:
             Why is my system using so much memory?
    * * *
    If you're staying with System 6, Maxima from Connectix ($45
      street) will let you use the extra memory as a RAM disk.
    * * *

This is still WRONG. I wrote the author of the FAQ months ago and
explained the error, and I posted to the group re the error after
that. Why has this not been corrected, especially since it is
"question of the year"?

I know Maxima. It is a friend of mine. And, Maxima can do more than
make extra memory available as a RAM disk!! Right now I have 14,336K
available as full application memory under System 6.07 -- thanks to
Maxima and an understanding wife who consented to buying more
simms!! Also thx to Maxima, I ALSO have 3052K available as a RAM
disk! What a great product!!!!

Please correct the FAQ.

Steve
