This is of interest to 95 users only.
Insteed of using ramdrive.sys (16 bit) try a Win 95 vdx equivilent. I have
been using it for the past 2 days without a hickup.
Once installed there is a control pannel applet that is used to tell the
utility what directorys to cache in the "ramdisk". I added the djgpp root
directory and the directory for my object files. I recommend that you do not
cache the source file directory and use a sperate directory for object files,
just incase you have a crash.
I noticed that on the first re compile that there is hard drive activity (less
than normal) but on the second none, except when the *.exe was written to disk.
The author is askink for $10.00US for his efforts, IMHO well worh it.
