RAM drive stuff: I found how to use RAMDRIVE.SYS with Win98. I put the following lines into CONFIG.SYS ... DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS DOS=HIGH,UMB DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\RAMDRIVE.SYS /E 8192 Then boot. This gave me an 8meg ram drive. It shows up with an icon of a caterpillar! (The Commander says it's an icon of a memory chip, but it looks like a caterpillar to me.) This drive holds data through 'Standby', loses all with a 'Shutdown', (an automatic cleanup feature), is silent, and FAST. Warning: With RAM drives, you lose memory for EVERYTHING else. Since I've plenty of memory (in my computer, anyway) the gains offset the loss. Thanks for reminding me about this. I posted the question, people responded with help, and I forgot to post the answer. Did now. Cheers, PW.
