- Windows and OS/2, but they're not share/freeware.
- Actually I believe Above-RAM (or is it Above-Disk) is more like what
- you're looking for, but it also isn't share/freeware.

- Yes, but it would be slow. What you need to do is create a RAM disk for
- your virtual memory device. If you don't have enough RAM then use a
- virtual memory device to simulate it.
- Then you would have RAM emulating disk emulating RAM emulating disk
- emulating RAM. (I think :-} )
