   George! (And, EVERYONE else who sent me a mail message!)

   Your wish is my command.  To one and all, enjoy!  (Look past the
   .signature for the instructions and the UUENCODED archive.)

   Enjoy,

   ------------------------+--------------------------------------------

The following UUDECODED archive (SETRAM.ARC) contains the following
two files:

SETRAM.SYS  2048 bytes
SETRAM.EXE   512 bytes

These two files comprise the SETRAM RAMdisk facility.  Sorry that
there's no documentation other than this note.  The program works
and works well.  I have not noticed anything wierd or destructive
about it.  I have been using it for 2 years now under both DOS 2.11
and DOS 3.10.  

Edit this mail file and save the UUENCODED file to something like
SETRAM.UUE.  Use the Unix (tm) utility uudecode on the file and
then download the resultant SETRAM.ARC file to your system using
Kermit or XMODEM (or any other favorite file transfer protocol).
Once the file is on your Rainbow (or PC-compatible) system, use
PKXARC, ARCE, or ARC to extract the two 'crunched' files to your
system book disk.

Then...

Edit your CONFIG.SYS file and include the following line: 

DEVICE=E:\SETRAM.SYS      (or)
DEVICE=A:\SETRAM.SYS      (If you don't have a hard disk)

(or wherever the path is for your utilities.  I use the root for
simplicity's sake.)

Then, reboot your system.  When the system is up, type the following
example setup at the DOS prompt:

A> SETRAM F 256 <CR>

or

A> SETRAM E 256 <CR>   (If you do not have a hard disk.)

You will now have a 256K RAMdisk located at drive F: (or E:).  Change
to the drive and run CHKDSK for a verification.

Now, fire away!  Load files.  Run programs.  Have fun!

Then, to disable the RAMdisk, change to another drive (E: if you're
using a hard disk, or A: if it's a floppy) and type:

A> SETRAM F

The RAMdisk is now disabled.

SETRAM will allow the creation and destruction of RAMdisks from 8K to
800K without the need of rebooting your system.  I hope you encounter
no problems with this program.

Some possible error messages from SETRAM:

Message:      error number 8(decimal) 
Explanation:  not enough free RAM to create a RAMdisk of the requested
              size.  Reenter a smaller RAMdisk size.

Message:      ramdisk already has memory
Explanation:  A RAMdisk is already installed.  You can only have one
              RAMdisk installed at a time.

If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail, USnail, or call me
at any time (leave a message if I am out).

Enjoy,
Alan
