I am currently using all 384K as RAM disk (using DOS's vdisk). >Is there a public, private or shareware print spooler that will work in >extended memory with the RAM disk (ie. not intefering with the RAM disk) Multisoft, a small company in Beaverton, OR, makes a very good disk cache called Super PC-Kwik, and a print spooler (forget the name) which can share extended memory (or expanded memory) with the cache. A disk cache is of course not exactly the same as a RAM disk, but gives a similar speedup, and is easier to use. -Randy ---- Randy Gobbel, Xerox PARC/ISL Disclaimer: Opinions here are mine, not my employer's Arpanet: gobbel.pa@xerox.com UUCP: ...!hplabs!parcvax!gobbel
