Can anybody point me at a good RAM Disk's source code? I've always assumed I
understood how they work, but I'd like to see a working version before I
attempt one with some special features. Any language of source code is fine.
Thanks.

Any language of source code is fine. most ramdisk programs are small. you will probably have more luck in getting source by getting a disassembler and making source from an executable. note that you will get assembler, and that the disassembly may have problems if the original code had data in the text segment (common if original source was assembler). unfortunately, this is often the only way to get source for some otherwise PD programs. it is also a good way to learn, however... there are a couple of halfway decent disassemblers out there. check the archives. i started to write an intelligent disassembler (i.e. one that could handle imbedded line A, data in text, etc) but finally gave up once i knew enough assembler to hand edit and fix the output of other disasms. since i do not do this too often, it was a good compromise. >Thanks. you're welcome... -bill rosenkra@convex.com -- Bill Rosenkranz |UUCP: {uunet,texsun}!convex!c1yankee!rosenkra Convex Computer Corp. |ARPA: rosenkra%c1yankee@convex.com
