Hi everybody, I'm looking for a RAMDISK program that supports mounting and dismounting (by dismounting, I mean TOTALLY releasing the memory it was using for the disk) and uses XMS memory (I would also settle for EMS support). Reducing the size down to a small figure like 16K is not enough, I need it to release its memory completely. (ShareWare if possible...) Thanks in advance Massimo -- Massimo Fasciano (fasciano@iro.umontreal.ca)

Just use any 'ol ram disk software, but use the utilities mark and release.
These two utilities will mark the memory address for later releasing. I
have used it for ram disks, ethercard drivers, TSRs, etc. They all seem to
work well with mark/release.
Good luck.

Mark and release won't work on these. Or have you some other experience - or other ram disk software?
