[comp.os.vms] VERB #3 and Inof on RAMDISK software.

TNIELAND@FALCON.BERKELEY.EDU (Ted Nieland - SRL) (03/15/88)

I am resending this message out, as I never received any responses and I sent 
it during a time when it looked like INFo-VAX was having some problems.  I 
dont' know if anyone received it or not, so here it is again:

I never received message number 3 of the VERB distribution.  Can some kind 
soul out there please send that third message (or the whole distribution, just 
to make sure I got the message correctly)?

Also, does anyone out there have comments, complaints, etc. on RAMDISK 
emulators for VAX/VMS.  I am especially interested in Public Domain versions.  
I am also interested in any source for PD RAMDISK drivers.  I know that DEC 
supplies one with VMS, but the performance of that driver puts the access time 
worse than the access time of a RA81.  I am looking for something that has 
very FAST access.  I know that there are some comercial packages, but I can't 
justify buying one until I can prove that it will solve the problems we are 
having currently (I don't plan on making a big ram disk, I just plan on using 
the memory that the system statistics tells me that we have never used).

Please send all comments to me and I will summarize to the list.

Thanks in advance.
