Just specify when running RamDisk Plus the first time that you wish to have it run MultiFinder after it's built the ram disk (this is done through a dialog box). That's all there is to it. There are also other neat options one can set, like having it run a specific program (under Uni- or MultiFinder) upon exiting, switching control to the ram disk if there's a system on it, etc. Robert -------- ra_robert@gsbacd.uchicago.edu -------- disclaimer: all these opinions are mine
