    I got this on the STarter kit from John Franco, and I think
    it is so great (and short) that I have to post it!  It is a
    RAMdisk program, written by John Harris, and done right at last!
    It is NOT a desk accessory.  It has no graphics.  It is just
    an autobooting RAMdisk that will survive system resets!!!
    
It works as advertised, and the ability to survive system resets
is really nice.  Unfortunately, I have had to stop using it ever
since I got my hard disk because both it and the hard disk use drive
D, and it seems to preempt the hard disk interrupt vectors for its
own use.

I'd like to fix it to work with the hard disk, but having the source
would make life much easier.  Does anyone out there have the source
and would be willing to post it to the net?  Or at least, does anyone
know who the author is so that I could contact him directly?
