Alot of the ramdisk software out there (especially anything related to Applied Engineering) usually uses bank $01 of aux ram, the same bank that ShrinkIt needs to use. In essence, as soon as you access the ramdisk, the ramdisk software blows parts of ShrinkIt away. I'm working hard with Applied and Checkmate to try to resolve any incompatibility problems. While this doesn't help you now, this will: Glen Bredon's RAM.DRV (ram drive) software included with ProSel will work fine with ShrinkIt and most other programs you use. You could use this as an intermediate solution until I get the memory conflicts resolved. andy > ...att!nesac2!foa |** Terry Nelson **| "All this is > GEnie Mail: terry2 | AT&T Network | because of me > Compu$erve 70701,1561 | Operations Group | and not my >AT&T Mail : terrynelson |** Warrenville, > IL **| employer?!?!" ----- Andy Nicholas CsNET: shrinkit@moravian.edu Box 435, Moravian College InterNET: shrinkit%moravian.edu@relay.cs.net Bethlehem, PA 18018 liberty!batman!shrinkit@sun.com ----- UUCP: rutgers!lafcol!lehi3b15!mc70!shrinkit I have a CD player, send CD's. rutgers!liberty!batman!shrinkit I have a IIgs, send a GS+.
