- TM.Almost true. What you should do is set the TEMP environment variable (and
- .tmp, for some other programs) to a subdirectory on the RAM disk. The reason
- .for this is some programs (COREL DRAW, Windows Print manager, etc.) create
- .and play around with temporary files that slow down the system...

- Of course, too small a RAM disk is worse than none at all, since some
- applications don't recover gracefully from an "out of disk" error.
