This is not to blame on RamDisk, there is a bug in the safixname() function 
in Aztec C68k version 'A'.  I have since unarchived the source of safixname.c 
and defined a missing pointer (Jim Goodnow from Manx explained this to me) 
and VersaTerm works just fine with RamDisk.

I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect that this is the reason MacWorks
on the Lisa didn't work as well.

All in all Aztec C68k is a great package.  A person can do REAL development
on a 2 disk 128k Mac.  If just the Resource Editor was completed...
maybe Jan '85...
