I also have a ramdisk, and several TSRs. At home I have a PC XT Clone with 640K, and a PC AT at work with 512 + 1.5 meg above board. pkxarc has never hanged either one. All the BBS's in my area use it as the standard form of achiving downloadable files. They usually insist that you use it for uploads. Rod Rebello ...!intelca!mipos3!cpocd2!rod
