Using the supplied RAMDOS program, I use Version 4.4, which I believe
is the most recent version.  I have had no problems with the RAMDISK,
as such, except I cannot get the copy files option to work for any
type of file from the RAMDISK.  At best, it copies the first bytes and
stops there and only the first file.  Using RE-USE and FILECOPY.BAS, I
then transfer from RAMDISK to a floppy.

As an added note, you indicate that the problem that the RAMDISK has
with SEQ files is a problem with the RAMDISK, but Fred Bowen's version
of VT100-128 seems to have no problem with transfer of SEQ files.  I
note that WRITE STUFF 128, both V1 and V2 share a similar problem -
though you can save SEQ files to the RAMDISK, the WS128 program cannot
re-load them back in.
