I've had pretty good luck in speeding up the compile-link time by using
a 285K RAM disk.  A RAM disk of that size is possible when you have TOS
in ROM, but no 1Meg upgrade.  My total compile-link time went from 8minutes
to 2:30 minutes, by telling the compiler, assembler and linker to use C:
for temporary files, putting the libraries on C:, plus a few other small
files.  It took me quite some time to figure out how to do this, but it was
worth it.  Of course, once I get my 1Meg upgrade I'll put everything into
RAM disk, and I expect the compile-link time will go down even more.

Have any of you had similar experiences?  I'll post my batch files, plus
a list of the files in RAM disk, if there is interest.

I have done the 1meg upgrade for myself and a couple of others, but I
have yet to find a reasonable ramdisk!  I am going to be doing a lot 
of C and it sounds worthwhile.

Whose ramdisk do you use and where can I get one??  If it is public 
domain can i send you some cash for your trouble in making a copy for
me?  If it isn't public domain where can I buy one?

Also any pointers on how you set things up to use the disk would 
be appreciated!

Thanks.
