In article <8707230126.AA12895@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU>, David G. Dugal
(DUGAL%ECL1@STAR.STANFORD.EDU) posts a uuencoded version of a "public
domain" RAMdisk driver.

In article <8707230820.AA19500@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU>, Glenn Everhart
(EVERHART%ARISIA@rca.COM) posts a disassembled version of this driver.

Based on inspection of the disassembled code, I would say you are 
looking at the standard PDDRIVER, which has come with every VMS system
since 4.2.  As the author of the VAX/VMS PDDRIVER, I can assure you
that I can recognize the code I wrote. For further evidence, just do an
ANALYZE/IMAGE SYS$SYSTEM:PDDRIVER.EXE and note that the link date/time is
identical to that in the disassembled listing.

If this is the case, this code was furnished under terms of a license
agreement and is NOT in the public domain.
