(start up either from the disk or from the ram-disk) -- the particular applications I have in mind are getting ALL of appleworks to the ram disk (it loads some of itself, but not all -- when you specify a printer it seems to have to have the real disk in place) or in getting the dictionaries from a spelling checker (pinpoint doc checker) to the ram. I know pinpoint will charge you X$ for some utiliites to do that, but there's gotta be public domain/ and/or simple something to do it. (This is for a //GS) (3.5" drive) (1 M RAM)
