[alt.sources.wanted] Ramdisk utility needed

nemesis@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu (06/10/91)

	I need a utility that will create a ramdisk which
utilizes extended memory.  Nothing that I have found so far
does this.  I have a 386/33Mhz machine with 4Megs of ram.  I
don't know if this is possible to do with DOS, but it would
be a pretty stupid affair if one couldn't.  Thank you for any
suggestions.

BTW, I have tried every ramdisk program at wuarchive, but none
utilize extended memory...

Post or Mail is fine....
