Subject: why have a ramdisk??
Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.3.91.960630161653.18189A-100000@yoss.canweb.net>

Reading through the FAQ, it said that you should (if you have enough ram) 
make a ramdisk and tell DJGPP to use that for swap space. What I don't 
get is why this works better than giving DJGPP all your memory as 
memory.. I mean, doesn't it only swap when it runs out of RAM?
