!cRAM_disc v1.00
This application is used to resize the RAM disc
while not empty, and requires a hard disc (or a
network)
Double click on the icon, and it will transfer
files to the scrap directory. It then stops and
asks how much free space is required, rounding
up and adding overheads (usually about 4K). It
then resets the RAM disc and replaces the files
previously contained therein.
The resizing is sometimes slightly innaccurate,
especially at small sizes, because of the code
in Acorn's MemAlloc module, but this should not
be a problem.
However, it is fairly reliable, more than other
rivals, due to the way it transfers files into
Scrap, not into the memory. This can be slower
if your hard disc is not very fast.

but PD. You may use it freely in any
of your own programs.
WARNING: although fairly reliable, do *not*
transfer valuable data that you do
not have duplicate copies of; use
it only as a time-saving utility
if you need to free up more memory.
