If anyone is needing a temporary ram disk, (system 7 only, sorry), let me direct you to a program called appdisk. It does an absolutely terrific job at giving me a temporary 1MB ramdisk, and then going away when I don't want it anymore..(yay!)..also freeing the memory. This is a fabulous ramdisk if you need one..! \ Ken Corey, VAX/Unix Programmer/Operator (And GOD am I confused...;) / \ kenc@vaxb.acs.unt.edu ken@isect.lonestar.org /

This is a fabulous ramdisk if you > need one..! I agree AppDisk is very slick. Well done! DISCLAIMER: The following refers to a products from me. Since the AppDisk RAM disk as almost as big as the amount of memory you allocate to AppDisk, I've found that AppSizer is really handy to use with it. I keep AppDisk in my Apple Menu folder for easy access. When I invoke it, I just hold down the control key to invoke AppSizer first so I can allocate as much memory to AppDisk as I want this time around (I change the size based on what I'm going to do with it this time). Using Get Info to change AppDisk's partition size work fine, of course, but if you expect to change this very often AppSizer can make it even easier to use. -- michael, creator of AppSizer -- Michael Peirce -- outpost!peirce@claris.com -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- & Consulting -- (408) 244-6554, AppleLink: PEIRCE

As stated before, I've sent it to info-mac@sumex-aim.stanford.edu, so it should be hitting the net soon, if it's not already in the sumex archives. If anyone needs this thingy right this second or sooner, let me know, and I'll be glad to mail a copy to you. \ Ken Corey, VAX/Unix Programmer/Operator (And GOD am I confused...;) / \ kenc@vaxb.acs.unt.edu ken@isect.lonestar.org /

This is a fabulous ramdisk if you >need one..! In case it hasn't been done yet, I sent APPDisk to comp.binaries.mac this morning. Hopefully it will show up soon. If you can't wait, mail me and I'll send it to you. <Ducking before the oncoming tidal wave of requests> Paul -- | Paul E.
