Subject: Virtual Ram on the PC

To all interested,
	I finally managed to track down a program that will give PC users
32meg of memory by using their hard drives to simulate the memory. However,
Mr. Foust seems to right in explaining why Imagine3.0 will not accept the
extra memory.  For instance, after running the program "VRAM", and typing
'MEM', it shows that I have a total of 18meg (I have 8meg physical), but
when I run Imagine it will not recognize this memory for anything.  I have
tried making VRAM emulate XMS, EMS, etc...and Imagine will not recognize
anything but my physical RAM.  A question: Would Impulse be able to
incorporate some kind of simple patch to recognize this memory, or is it a
major process to do so? BTW: Wordperfect 6.0, LOTUS 1-2-3, and quite a few
other apps recognize the memory fine, and use the full 18meg. Interesting...
	Anyway, if anyone wants the VRAM program it's quite small and I
could UUENCODE it if requested.  T.T.F.N.
