A few days ago I asked how I could increase the speed of the link step for the manx compiler. A couple of people responded by saying that ram: is considerably faster than vd0:, and that it would help to move the .o and libraries into ram: (they were in vd0:). I tried this, and it did not seem to help *at all*. The link time was 95 seconds when everything was in vd0:, when the libraries (mine as well as c.lib and m.lib) were moved to ram:, and again when the ln target was placed in ram: Am I missing something? Is there some correct way to set up ram: that I didn't use? (I just copied stoff over to ram: and it appeard.) WHAT'S GOING ON? Both vd0: and ram: were present during my tests. I'm sure that ram: was used as indicated since I removed files from vd0: when they were moved to ram:. Jack Orenstein
